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

Non-static methods cannot be imported that way.

However, you can do this:

public static void println() {
    System.out.println();
}

// elsewhere
println();     // can be inlined
