static variable in method

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        static final String data = "test";    //Illegal modifier for parameter dataFile; only final is permitted.

   }

}

 

//Illegal modifier for parameter dataFile; only final is permitted.

 

/*

The modifiers private, protected, and public cannot be used on variables inside of a method. This is because you can only have local variables inside of methods.

Java is simply telling you that the only modifier allowed at that time is the final keyword.

*/

 

The static variable is only associated with class.It is meaningless in a method.
