When a field is declared static in an inner class, the following message
appears:
"The field fieldName cannot be declared static; static fields can only be
declared in static or top level types"

the following piece of code generates this error:

class Example {
static boolean a;
}

Version number: 1.0.3
Operating system: Windows Vista
Hardware: Dell Inspiron 1525

That's not a bug. That behavior is inherited from Java.
