I holp somebody will need it.

// Fig. 8.13: EmployeeTest.java
// Static member demonstration.

public class EmployeeTest 
{
   public static void main( String args[] )
   {
      // show that count is 0 before creating Employees
      System.out.printf( "Employees before instantiation: %d\n",
         Employee.getCount() );

      // create two Employees; count should be 2
      Employee e1 = new Employee( "Susan", "Baker" );
      Employee e2 = new Employee( "Bob", "Blue" );
   
      // show that count is 2 after creating two Employees
      System.out.println( "\nEmployees after instantiation: " );
      System.out.printf( "via e1.getCount(): %d\n", e1.getCount() );
      System.out.printf( "via e2.getCount(): %d\n", e2.getCount() );
      System.out.printf( "via Employee.getCount(): %d\n", 
         Employee.getCount() );
   
      // get names of Employees
      System.out.printf( "\nEmployee 1: %s %s\nEmployee 2: %s %s\n\n",
         e1.getFirstName(), e1.getLastName(), 
         e2.getFirstName(), e2.getLastName() );

      // in this example, there is only one reference to each Employee,
      // so the following two statements cause the JVM to mark each 
      // Employee object for garbage collection
      e1 = null; 
      e2 = null;  

      System.gc(); // ask for garbage collection to occur now

      // show Employee count after calling garbage collector; count 
      // displayed may be 0, 1 or 2 based on whether garbage collector
      // executes immediately and number of Employee objects collected
      System.out.printf( "\nEmployees after System.gc(): %d\n", 
         Employee.getCount() );
   } // end main
} // end class EmployeeTest
