problem with fianl & static variable.

[deepesh at cistemsindia.com (deepesh)]

Hello Pratap,

        u r trying to create a static variable in a method which is not
possible. The static variables r class level variables and when the code is
compiled, the compiler considers the static variable 'once' as a class field
declaration. This hinders the parsing of the compiler as bracket mismatch and
so on.

so if u want a static variable, declare it outside the method block. Java
doesn't provide 'C' like feature of declaring static variable in the method.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Best
Deepesh
