error: qualified new of static class

Hi i tried Pg 218 example. The program failed to compile on both author's code and my own code (which are basically the same thing).

For the line:

Code:

        MagicHat.Rabbit rabbit = oldHat.new Rabbit();           // Create rabbit objects

the compiler could not compile and throws an error:

Code:

TryNestedClass.java:8: error: qualified new of static class
        MagicHat.Rabbit rabbit = oldHat.new Rabbit();           // Create rabbit
 objects
                                 ^
1 error

How do i solve this? Thanks

EDIT 1:

I solved it. I made a silly mistake of declaring my nested class as static. Moderator pls close thread thanks.
