Is there way to import static methods from a non-package class?

[Zemian Deng]

Hello,

I have a class that doesn't have package name(default to .) with many static methods. I can't seem to import these without hitting compiler error. The only solution I have is to add a package declaration to the class. Is there a way to do it without it?

I have the following:

    
//file1
public class StaticThings {
public static void println(Object... things){
for(Object obj : things) System.out.println(obj);
}
}
//file2
import static StaticThings.*; 
public class Tryme {
public static void main(String[] args) {
println("test");
}
}

Thanks,
Zemian Deng

That's the way to do it.

Is there a reason that you want to use an unnamed package?
