Inheritance vs Static in Java

Question

I dont quite understand why Static methods can be inherited in Java ?

Inheritance is like inheriting from the base class AND Static belongs to the Class and not Obje

Answer 1

As you state, the static method belongs to the class and since inheritance describes a IS-A relationship between types does it not stand to reason that a subclass would inherit all of the members of its superclass?

I personally think this implementation makes a lot of sense!
