This feature is new in the JDK 1.5 and is intended to reduce the Java app verbosity. Static imports allow you to put into scope a set of methods and fields. Using static imports, allows you to omit qualifying class names. Here's an example:

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

public class StaticImport
{
	public static void main(String[]arr)
	{
		out.println("This Static Import");
		out.println(ceil(10.5));
}
}
