In Java, are variables declared inside static methods themselves static?

Viewed 25022

Assume the following:

private static boolean A()
{
  int parsedUntil = 0;
  ...
  ...
  ...
}

Is parsedUntil considered to be a static variable? I noticed that I can't declare it as static inside this static function.

Follow-up question: I read that a static variable will only be initialized once. Does that mean the first time I call function A() the value will be set to zero, but every other time I call A(), that row is omitted?
