Static Import

Static import feature was introduced in Java 5. The functionality provided by static import is it allows a class to access static members of another external class directly without qualifying it with the class name as if it is declared within the called class. Static import reduces code size.

Program to demonstrate Static import:

//Java program to demonstrate static import

import static java.lang.System.*;  //Static import for System class 
   
class StaticImportExample
{  
  public static void main(String args[])
  {     
    out.println("Hello");//Now no need of System.out  
    out.println("Demo");  
  }   
}  

Output:

Hello

Demo

Explanation of above program:

In above program static members of System class is imported in StaticImportExample class and thus it is able to use it's static member out without qualifying it with the class name System.
