Currently only static arrays can have static initializers, so if you 
declare the 'def' inside some function, in your case 'main', it must be 
declared like this:

static int[] def = [1, 2, 3];

Declarations at global scope are static anyway, so the error does not 
occur in that case - and that's the case in the example.
