I was looking at some of the shape classes in the java.awt.geom package when I noticed that most of the classes such as Ellipse2D.Double, Arc2D.Double, etc are defined as static.

I've seen what static fields and methods of a class are, but what does it mean for a class to be static? Does it just mean that all of it's fields and methods are static or is there more to it?

I'm just asking about a simple static class, not nested. I did notice that thread but I don't want to go that deep. – B-Mac Apr 05 '15 at 21:03

There are no static classes that are not nested. – Keppil Apr 05 '15 at 21:09
Ellipse2D.Double is nested inside Ellipse2D. – user207421 Apr 05 '15 at 23:02
