I didn't like this solution, because the function signature (names and
types of the function and its parameters) is declared in an unusual way
and the function is not separated clearly from the main method's statements.

Although longer, I think the following code is easier to read:

public static void main(final String[] a){
	final int i=5;

	class LocalMethods {
		int q(int x){
			return x*i;
		}
	}

	LocalMethods localMethods = new LocalMethods();
	System.out.println(localMethods.q(7));
}
