Well, unless you included the above code inside another class, the main
difference is that the first would compile and the second would not.  The
static modifier can be applied to class members, not to top-level classes.

So lets say we have the following:

   class TopLevel {
        :
        :

      class MyClass {
      }

      static class MyStaticClass {
      } 
   }

Both classes are nested classes, since they are declared within another
class.  But MyClass is also an inner class, whereas MyStaticClass is not.

You will need to get a good Java book for more detail on inner classes.
This is too broad a subject to cover in a newsgroup message.
