都是很好的答案，但是我没有看到java.util.Collections的引用，它为它们的静态因子方法使用了大量的静态内部类。加上相同的。

从java.util.Collections中添加一个示例，其中有多个静态内部类。内部类对于需要通过外部类访问的代码进行分组非常有用。

/**
 * @serial include
 */
static class UnmodifiableSet<E> extends UnmodifiableCollection<E>
                             implements Set<E>, Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -9215047833775013803L;

    UnmodifiableSet(Set<? extends E> s)     {super(s);}
    public boolean equals(Object o) {return o == this || c.equals(o);}
    public int hashCode()           {return c.hashCode();}
}

下面是java.util.Collections类中的静态因子方法

public static <T> Set<T> unmodifiableSet(Set<? extends T> s) {
    return new UnmodifiableSet<>(s);
}

有一个静态嵌套类，这个[静态嵌套]类不需要一个外围类的实例来实例化自己。

这些类[静态嵌套类]只能访问外围类的静态成员[因为它没有任何对外围类实例的引用…]

代码示例:

public class Test { 
  class A { } 
  static class B { }
  public static void main(String[] args) { 
    /*will fail - compilation error, you need an instance of Test to instantiate A*/
    A a = new A(); 
    /*will compile successfully, not instance of Test is needed to instantiate B */
    B b = new B(); 
  }
}

外部类不能是静态的，但嵌套/内部类可以。这基本上可以帮助您使用嵌套/内部类，而无需创建外部类的实例。

好吧，Java有“静态嵌套类”，但它们与c#的静态类完全不一样，如果你是从那里来的的话。静态嵌套类只是一个没有隐式引用外部类实例的类。

静态嵌套类可以有实例方法和静态方法。

在Java中没有顶级静态类这种东西。

Java有静态嵌套类，但听起来像是在寻找顶级静态类。Java没有办法让顶级类成为静态的，但是你可以像这样模拟一个静态类:

Declare your class final - Prevents extension of the class since extending a static class makes no sense Make the constructor private - Prevents instantiation by client code as it makes no sense to instantiate a static class Make all the members and functions of the class static - Since the class cannot be instantiated no instance methods can be called or instance fields accessed Note that the compiler will not prevent you from declaring an instance (non-static) member. The issue will only show up if you attempt to call the instance member

以上建议的简单例子:

public class TestMyStaticClass {
     public static void main(String []args){
        MyStaticClass.setMyStaticMember(5);
        System.out.println("Static value: " + MyStaticClass.getMyStaticMember());
        System.out.println("Value squared: " + MyStaticClass.squareMyStaticMember());
        // MyStaticClass x = new MyStaticClass(); // results in compile time error
     }
}

// A top-level Java class mimicking static class behavior
public final class MyStaticClass {
    private MyStaticClass () { // private constructor
        myStaticMember = 1;
    }
    private static int myStaticMember;
    public static void setMyStaticMember(int val) {
        myStaticMember = val;
    }
    public static int getMyStaticMember() {
        return myStaticMember;
    }
    public static int squareMyStaticMember() {
        return myStaticMember * myStaticMember;
    }
}

What good are static classes? A good use of a static class is in defining one-off, utility and/or library classes where instantiation would not make sense. A great example is the Math class that contains some mathematical constants such as PI and E and simply provides mathematical calculations. Requiring instantiation in such a case would be unnecessary and confusing. See the Math class and source code. Notice that it is final and all of its members are static. If Java allowed top-level classes to be declared static then the Math class would indeed be static.

静态方法意味着可以在不创建类对象的情况下访问它，这与public方法不同:

public class MyClass {
   // Static method
   static void myStaticMethod() {
      System.out.println("Static methods can be called without creating objects");
   }

  // Public method
  public void myPublicMethod() {
      System.out.println("Public methods must be called by creating objects");
   }

  // Main method
  public static void main(String[ ] args) {
      myStaticMethod(); // Call the static method
    // myPublicMethod(); This would output an error

    MyClass myObj = new MyClass(); // Create an object of MyClass
    myObj.myPublicMethod(); // Call the public method
  }
}
