Should I use static import?

Question

How important it is to convert all my import to static import? Why are people still reluctant to use static import?

Answer 1

This is a special case but also the perfect use case (and I use it in all my tests):

import static junit.framework.Assert.*;

Here, I find that this makes my tests more readable and it's obvious from where assertXXX come from. But this is an exception. In other situations, I find that static import make things more obscure, harder to read and I don't really use them.
