Static import in java


Static import:

Static import is a feature which provides the facility to access static members of a class
directly without using class name.
Example:

Display.java

packagecom.sst;

//This class is used to display entered text.


public class Display {
public static void displayText(String text){
System.out.println(text);
}

Test

packagecom.sst.exceptions;

import static display.Display.*;

//This class is used to show static import example.


public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]){
displayText("Hello java.");
}

Output:

Hello Java
