Hi sravanthi ,
With static import , you can import only static members of the class. So , no need to type classname to access members imported statically.

No, that is why there is static import, otherwise what would be difference
between normal import and static import.

static import just gives a facility to avoid some keystrokes.
It enables us to use PI, E,etc constants of the Math class to be used directly without writing Math.PI or Math.E for example.



Thanks,

So suppose if i use
import com.sun,scjp.class.*;
where in class is the file name,imports only the nonstatic members of the class??
then in that case i should use
import static com.sun.scjp.class.Enum;
Where in Enum is declared in the class and we can use constants present in Enum
Please clarify

The static import construct allows unqualified access to static members without inheriting from the type containing the static members. Instead, the program imports the members, either individually:

import static java.lang.Math.PI;

or en masse:
import static java.lang.Math.*;


Once the static members have been imported, they may be used without qualification:
double x = cos(PI * theta);

The static import declaration is analogous to the normal import declaration. Where the normal import declaration imports classes from packages, allowing them to be used without package qualification, the static import declaration imports static members from classes, allowing them to be used without class qualification
