以下是静态嵌套类和内部类的示例：

外部类.java

public class OuterClass {
     private String someVariable = "Non Static";

     private static String anotherStaticVariable = "Static";  

     OuterClass(){

     }

     //Nested classes are static
     static class StaticNestedClass{
        private static String privateStaticNestedClassVariable = "Private Static Nested Class Variable"; 

        //can access private variables declared in the outer class
        public static void getPrivateVariableofOuterClass(){
            System.out.println(anotherStaticVariable);
        }
     }

     //non static
     class InnerClass{

         //can access private variables of outer class
         public String getPrivateNonStaticVariableOfOuterClass(){
             return someVariable;
         }
     }

     public static void accessStaticClass(){
         //can access any variable declared inside the Static Nested Class 
         //even if it private
         String var = OuterClass.StaticNestedClass.privateStaticNestedClassVariable; 
         System.out.println(var);
     }

}

外部类别测试：

public class OuterClassTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //access the Static Nested Class
        OuterClass.StaticNestedClass.getPrivateVariableofOuterClass();

        //test the private variable declared inside the static nested class
        OuterClass.accessStaticClass();
        /*
         * Inner Class Test
         * */

        //Declaration

        //first instantiate the outer class
        OuterClass outerClass = new OuterClass();

        //then instantiate the inner class
        OuterClass.InnerClass innerClassExample =  outerClass. new InnerClass();

        //test the non static private variable
        System.out.println(innerClassExample.getPrivateNonStaticVariableOfOuterClass()); 

    }

}

嵌套类是一个非常通用的术语：每个不是顶级的类都是嵌套类。内部类是非静态嵌套类。约瑟夫·达西写了一篇关于嵌套、内部、成员和顶级课程的非常好的解释。

针对Java和/或嵌套类新手的学习者

嵌套类可以是：1.静态嵌套类。2.非静态嵌套类。（也称为内部类）=>请记住这一点

1.内部类例子：

class OuterClass  {
/*  some code here...*/
     class InnerClass  {  }
/*  some code here...*/
}

内部类是嵌套类的子集：

内部类是特定类型的嵌套类内部类是嵌套类的子集可以说内部类也是嵌套类，但不能说嵌套类也是内部类。

内层专业：

内部类的实例可以访问外部类的所有成员，即使是标记为“private”的成员

2.静态嵌套类：例子：

class EnclosingClass {
  static class Nested {
    void someMethod() { System.out.println("hello SO"); }
  }
}

案例1：从非封闭类实例化静态嵌套类

class NonEnclosingClass {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    /*instantiate the Nested class that is a static
      member of the EnclosingClass class:
    */

    EnclosingClass.Nested n = new EnclosingClass.Nested(); 
    n.someMethod();  //prints out "hello"
  }
}

案例2：从封闭类实例化静态嵌套类

class EnclosingClass {

  static class Nested {
    void anotherMethod() { System.out.println("hi again"); } 
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //access enclosed class:

    Nested n = new Nested(); 
    n.anotherMethod();  //prints out "hi again"
  }

}

静态类专业：

静态内部类只能访问外部类的静态成员，不能访问非静态成员。

结论：问：Java中内部类和静态嵌套类的主要区别是什么？答：只需仔细阅读上面提到的每门课的细节。

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。

                    //}
                }
    }

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。

嵌套静态类的使用有一个微妙之处，这在某些情况下可能很有用。

尽管静态属性在类通过其构造函数实例化之前被实例化，嵌套静态类内部的静态属性似乎在类的构造函数被调用，或者至少直到属性被首次引用之后，即使它们被标记为“最终”。

考虑以下示例：

public class C0 {

    static C0 instance = null;

    // Uncomment the following line and a null pointer exception will be
    // generated before anything gets printed.
    //public static final String outerItem = instance.makeString(98.6);

    public C0() {
        instance = this;
    }

    public String makeString(int i) {
        return ((new Integer(i)).toString());
    }

    public String makeString(double d) {
        return ((new Double(d)).toString());
    }

    public static final class nested {
        public static final String innerItem = instance.makeString(42);
    }

    static public void main(String[] argv) {
        System.out.println("start");
        // Comment out this line and a null pointer exception will be
        // generated after "start" prints and before the following
        // try/catch block even gets entered.
        new C0();
        try {
            System.out.println("retrieve item: " + nested.innerItem);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("failed to retrieve item: " + e.toString());
        }
        System.out.println("finish");
    }
}

即使“nested”和“innerItem”都声明为“static final”。设置nested.innerItem的值在类实例化后才会发生（或至少直到第一次引用嵌套的静态项之后），正如您自己所看到的通过注释和取消注释上面提到的行。这一点不成立对于“outerItem”为true。

至少这是我在Java6.0中看到的。
