Java Generics: non-static type variable T cannot be referenced from a static context

by

All member fields of an interface are by default public, static and final.

Since inner interface is static by default, you can’t refer to T from static fields or methods.

Because T is actually associated with an instance of a class, if it were associated with a static field or method which is associated with class then it wouldn’t make any sense
