JAVA EXPERTS kindly chip-in

Question

class Test
Test t=new Test();
class TestA
public static void main(String[] args)
Test t=new Test();
I'm getting a run-time error in above code that is
Exception in Thread "Main" java.lang.StackOverflowError
while the following code is working very fine, inspite of that I am doing almost the same thing in the following code too. Only the difference is that, in the following code I'm instantiating the class from inside the static initializer block whereas in the above code I'm doing this from inside a class-level normal block.
class Test
static
Test t=new Test();
Test()
System.out.println("Inside Test's Default Constructor");
class TestA
public static void main(String[] args)
Test t=new Test();
output:
Inside Test's Default Constructor
Inside Test's Default Constructor
I'm struggling to find the reason behind this.
so, calling Java Experts to help me please.

Happy Father's Day! I'm going to have an afternoon of kayaking with my wife and daughters. It'll be fantastic.
Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with throwing in a few System.out.println()s to do a quick, down and dirty debug. I do it all the time, actually.The key words there are "quick, down and dirty debug". I do too, but I take them out when I solve the problem.
I wouldn't advise putting trace System.out calls in constructors as a "best practice". That's what I responded to.
%Happy Father's Day to you as well! I just got back from a camping trip with the wife and kids! It was fantastic. One of the best trips I've had in a long time.
Where are you going kayaking?
I didn't realize that they were calling that a "best practice." I whole-heartedly agree.
