javac successfully compiles the program:

public class Test {
    public class InnerTest {
        public static final int ONE = 1;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("InnerTest.ONE = " + InnerTest.ONE);
    }
}

The inner classes spec from the JDK1.1.7 docs say:
"This shows why an inner class cannot declare a static member,
 because the entire body of the inner class is in the scope of
 one or more enclosing instances."
This is from innerclasses.doc6.html

As a side note, why don't the JDK1.2 docs hae any inner classes
specs?
