    No, they’re not the same: an inner class is non-static.

    JLS 8.1.3 Inner Classes and Enclosing Instances

    An inner class is a nested class that is not explicitly or implicitly declared static.

    Consult also the following diagram from Joe Darcy:

    Joseph D. Darcy’s Oracle Weblog – Nested, Inner, Member, and Top-Level Classes
