When is it OK to create object of a class inside a method of that class?

Question

public class TestClass(){
    public static void main(String []args) {
        TestClass t1 = new TestClass();
        t1.anything();
    }
}

Is it not

Answer 1

It's not really odd. All object oriented languages that I am aware of allow this. The code is semantically part of the object definition, but in practice it can be considered separate from the actual state of any given object. So there is no loop because object construction doesn't call your method (unless, of course, it does - then you have a problem).
