it refuses to compile. I get No enclosing instance of type Hello is accessible." at the line that creates a new Thing.

A：

You‘ve declared the class Thing as a non-static inner class. That means it must be associated with an instance of the Hello class.

In your code, you‘re trying to create an instance of Thing from a static context. That is what the compiler is complaining about.

There are a few possible solutions. Which solution to use depends on what you want to achieve.

• Change Thing to be a static nested class.

     1: static class Thing

• Create an instance of Hello, then create an instance of Thing.

     1: public static void main(String[] args)

     2: {

     3:     Hello h = new Hello();

     4:     Thing thing1 = h.new Thing(); // hope this syntax is right, typing on the fly :P

     5: }

• Move Thing out of the Hello class.
