Description Christian Schwarz CLA 2015-08-20 02:59:03 EDT 
Currently it is not possible to make a static import if a static member is defined in a super class.

Here is a real world example:


class org.mockito.Matchers {
 public static String anyString(){..}
}

class org.mockito.Mockito extends org.mockito.Matchers {
}


It is not possible to do a static import of Mockito.anyString(), it is only possible if the declaring type of #anyString() is referenced -> Matchers.anyString().
