Static Imports

•Astatic import imports the static members from a class:

import static

<pkg_list>

<class_name>

<member_name>

;

import static

<pkg_list>

<class_name>

.*;

• A static import imports members individually or

collectively:

import static cards.domain.Suit.SPADES;

import static cards.domain.Suit.*;

• There is no need to qualify the static constants:

PlayingCard card1 = new PlayingCard(SPADES, 2);

• Use this feature sparingly.
