In addition to how Java defines static inner classes, there is another definition of static classes as per the C# world [1]. A static class is one that has only static methods (functions) and it is meant to support procedural programming. Such classes aren't really classes in that the user of the class is only interested in the helper functions and not in creating instances of the class. While static classes are supported in C#, no such direct support exists in Java. You can however use enums to mimic C# static classes in Java so that a user can never create instances of a given class (even using reflection) [2]:

public enum StaticClass2 {
    // Empty enum trick to avoid instance creation
    ; // this semi-colon is important

    public static boolean isEmpty(final String s) {
        return s == null || s.isEmpty();
    }
}

只有嵌套类可以是静态的。通过这样做，您可以使用嵌套类而无需外部类的实例。

class OuterClass {
    public static class StaticNestedClass {
    }

    public class InnerClass {
    }

    public InnerClass getAnInnerClass() {
        return new InnerClass();
    }

    //This method doesn't work
    public static InnerClass getAnInnerClassStatically() {
        return new InnerClass();
    }
}

class OtherClass {
    //Use of a static nested class:
    private OuterClass.StaticNestedClass staticNestedClass = new OuterClass.StaticNestedClass();

    //Doesn't work
    private OuterClass.InnerClass innerClass = new OuterClass.InnerClass();

    //Use of an inner class:
    private OuterClass outerclass= new OuterClass();
    private OuterClass.InnerClass innerClass2 = outerclass.getAnInnerClass();
    private OuterClass.InnerClass innerClass3 = outerclass.new InnerClass();
}

Java:静态与非静态内部类 Java内部类和静态嵌套类

您可以在Eclipse中的PlatformUI中查看带有静态方法和私有构造函数的类，该类本身是final的。

public final class <class name>
{
   //static constants
   //static memebers
}

我认为这可能就像喝一杯咖啡一样简单! 看看这个。 定义类时不显式使用static关键字。

public class StaticClass {

    static private int me = 3;
    public static void printHelloWorld() {
       System.out.println("Hello World");
    }



    public static void main(String[] args) {
        StaticClass.printHelloWorld();
        System.out.println(StaticClass.me);
    }
}

这不是静态类的定义吗? 我们只使用绑定到类的函数。 注意，在这种情况下，我们可以在该嵌套中使用另一个类。 看看这个:

class StaticClass1 {

    public static int yum = 4;

    static void  printHowAreYou() {
        System.out.println("How are you?");
    }
}

public class StaticClass {

    static int me = 3; 
    public static void printHelloWorld() {
       System.out.println("Hello World");
       StaticClass1.printHowAreYou();
       System.out.println(StaticClass1.yum);
    }



    public static void main(String[] args) {
        StaticClass.printHelloWorld();
        System.out.println(StaticClass.me);
    }
}

如果使用静态类的好处是不实例化对象并使用方法，那么只需将类声明为公共，并将此方法声明为静态。

唯一可以是静态的类是内部类。下面的代码工作得很好:

public class whatever {
    static class innerclass {
    }
}

静态内部类的意义在于它们没有外部类对象的引用。
