当我们在类中声明静态成员类时，它被称为顶级嵌套类或静态嵌套类。可以证明如下：

class Test{
    private static int x = 1;
        static class A{
        private static int y = 2;
        public static int getZ(){
            return B.z+x;
        }
    }
    static class B{
        private static int z = 3;
        public static int getY(){
            return A.y;
        }
    }
}

class TestDemo{
     public static void main(String[] args){
        Test t = new Test();
        System.out.println(Test.A.getZ());
        System.out.println(Test.B.getY());
    }
}

当我们在类中声明非静态成员类时，它被称为内部类。内部类可演示如下：

    class Test{
        private int i = 10;
        class A{
            private int i =20;
            void display(){
            int i = 30;
            System.out.println(i);
            System.out.println(this.i);
            System.out.println(Test.this.i);
        }
    }
}

在创建实例的情况下静态内部类是使用的引用创建的定义它的外部类的对象。这表示它具有包含实例。但是静态内部类的实例使用外部类的引用创建，而不是使用外部类对象的引用。这意味着没有包含实例。

例如：

class A
{
  class B
  {
    // static int x; not allowed here…..    
  }
  static class C
  {
    static int x; // allowed here
  }
}

class Test
{
  public static void main(String… str)
  {
    A o=new A();
    A.B obj1 =o.new B();//need of inclosing instance

    A.C obj2 =new A.C();

    // not need of reference of object of outer class….
  }
}

class Test{

        static class A{

        public static int getZ(){
            return B.z+x;
        }
    }
    static class B{
        private static int z = 3;
        public static int getY(){
            return A.y;
        }
    }
}

class TestDemo{
     public static void main(String[] args){
        Test t = new Test();
        System.out.println(Test.A.getZ());
        System.out.println(Test.B.getY());
    }

            void display(){
            int i = 30;
            System.out.println(i);
            System.out.println(this.i);
            System.out.println(Test.this.i);
        }
    }
}

静态嵌套类访问在其中定义的类的PRIVATE类级静态变量。从体系结构的角度来看，这可能是巨大的（即服务定位器模式在服务中使用嵌套的静态助手类），并可能帮助OP了解它们与内部类一起存在的原因。

这些术语可以互换使用。如果你真的想变得迂腐，那么你可以定义“嵌套类”来引用一个静态的内部类，这个类没有封闭的实例。在代码中，您可能有如下内容：

public class Outer {
    public class Inner {}

    public static class Nested {}
}

但这并不是一个被广泛接受的定义。

我已经说明了java代码中可能出现的各种可能的正确和错误场景。
