I see many Java samples which use BufferedReader as a static member instead of instance member. Is it some best practice? and when should or shouldn’t I do it?

I found that the cases in which BufferedReader should not be closed when it is used with System.in ; because in that case Java does not allow to re-open it. In this scenario, it makes sense to declare this property as static.
