[Tiger beta] static import

[Pradeep bhatt]

Hi all,

Brett mentions in his Java Tiger Devloper Notes that using *both* static and normal import for the same class will make compiler gripe about a name conflict. I tried this

 import static java.lang.Character.Subset;
import  java.lang.Character.Subset; 

The compiler did not complain. Why?

I tried a lot of variations and they all worked.

import affects class names and import static affects member names. Since class and member names occupy different name spaces, I don't see how a conflict could happen even if the names were identical.
