yes  static int variable = 3; actually means
public static int variable =3;
if you write
private static int variable =3;
you can't access it from any other module
if you write
package static int variable =3;
you can access it from module2 and module3 (that are in the same 
package) but not from main.

this is most likely not implemented, it is documented nowhere, you 
might expect it for symmetry reasons, but it is not there.
If you think it should be there (and really I cannot think a good case 
in which you need it) try filing a bug report...
