How to make System.out.println() shorter

Question

Please advice on where can I find the lib in order to use the shorter expression of System.out.println() and where should I place that lib.

Answer 1

package some.useful.methods;

public class B {

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

package first.java.lesson;

import static some.useful.methods.B.*;

public class A {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        p("Hello!");

    }
}

Answer 2

Using System.out.println() is bad practice (better use logging framework) -> you should not have many occurences in your code base. Using another method to simply shorten it does not seem a good option.

Answer 3

void p(String l){
System.out.println(l);
}

Shortest. Go for it.

Answer 4

A minor point perhaps, but:

import static System.out;

public class Tester
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        out.println("Hello!"); 
    }
}

...generated a compile time error. I corrected the error by editing the first line to read:

import static java.lang.System.out;
