This information on java static import is very good..

I happened to see your post on “Static import in Java” and find it quite informative.
Thanks for sharing valuable knowmledge.
Bizz..

But consider using the java static import in following two scenarios:

1) When you have to only one or max two static imports in a class many number(say atleast 20) of times.
2) Constant Interface Antipattern

Example for above case 2):
When you create a interface with constants and extend it to use (note below ‘PI’ referring the constant). In this scenario, better use the bottom code.

public interface MyConstant {
public static final double PI = 3.14159;
}

public class MyMath implements MyConstant {
public double myComplexMathMethod() {
return (PI * 100);
}
}

————–

public final class MyConstant {
private MyConstant() {}
public static final double PI = 3.14159;
}

import static MyConstant.PI;
public class MyMath {
public double myComplexMathMethod() {
return (PI * 100);
}
}
