Why can't I import static java.lang.System.out.println?

Question

It seems strange that I can\'t import static java.lang.System.out.println, when I can import static java.lang.Math.abs. Is there some reason behind this or am I doing somet

Answer 1

Because java.lang.System.out is a static object (a PrintStream) on which you call println.

Though in eclipse you can type sysout and then press ctrl-space to have it expanded to System.out.println();
