Is there anything wrong with a class with all static methods?

Question

I\'m doing code review and came across a class that uses all static methods. The entrance method takes several arguments and then starts calling the other static methods passin

Answer 1

It depends on whether the passed arguments can really be classified as state.

Having static methods calling each other is OK in case it's all utility functionality split up in multiple methods to avoid duplication. For example:

public static File loadConfiguration(String name, Enum type) {
    String fileName = (form file name based on name and type);
    return loadFile(fileName); // static method in the same class
}
