What does static mean in this case? (java)

class … {
    static {
        //код
    }
}

Answer 1

This is called a static initialization block. In this case, this means that the code inside the block will be executed at the moment the class is initialized, before the constructor is called (if the class is instantiated), or the first time a static class method is called.
