A new feature introduced in Java5.0 called Static import which allow developers to import static members of a class. In order to access static members, it is necessary to qualify references with the class they came from.

System.out.println("Hello")
Or
Java.lang.Math.PI;

We can write a program in more readable way by using static import. A static import declaration has two forms:

1. One that imports a particular static member.

Syntax: import static packageName.ClassName.staticMemberName;

eg:

import static java.lang.Math.PI;
import static java.lang.System.out;

2.      One that imports all static members of a class
Syntax: import static packageName.ClassName.*;

eg:

import static java.lang.Math.*;
import static java.lang.System.*;
