How to allow static initializer on a inner class like this:
public class MyClass {
public class InnerClass {
static {
// do something
}
public bar(){
// do something
}
}
// method stuff
public void foo() {
// do something
}
}
Answer
From JLS 8.1.3 Inner Classes and Enclosing Instances:
Inner classes may not declare static initializers (§8.7) or member interfaces.
What you may want is a nested class:
public static class InnerClass { // note "static"
