Message: [QUOTE="Gene Wirchenko, post: 4400019"] state of the prospective outer class, then it should not be an inner class, but it might be a candidate for a nested class. references an instance variable of the outer-class instance, then it will have to be an inner class. This follows directly from the inability of a static member to access an instance member. Thank you. It was a terminology issue. I got this from Oracle: "Nested classes are divided into two categories: static and non-static. Nested classes that are declared static are simply called static nested classes. Non-static nested classes are called inner classes." Are these the definitions that you are using? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko [/QUOTE]
