Description Frederic Fusier CLA 2004-10-14 07:54:56 EDT 
Using HEAD, compiler does not report any error on following invalid static import:

import static java.lang.System;
public class X {
   public static void main (String[] args) {
      out.println("SUCCESS");
   }
}

Valid static import are only:
import static <type ref>.*;
import static <type ref>.<identifier>;

Sun JDK 1.5 javac reports following errors:
X.java:1: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class lang
location: package java
import static java.lang.System;
                   ^
X.java:1: static import only from classes and interfaces
import static java.lang.System;
^
X.java:4: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable out
location: class X
      out.println("SUCCESS");
      ^

Comment 1 Frederic Fusier CLA 2004-10-14 08:05:01 EDT 
Oooops, in fact compiler reports errors on comment 0 syntax:
- unused import
- out unresolved

Syntax which does not provide any error is:
import static java.lang.System;
public class X {
   public static void main (String[] args) {
      System.out.println("SUCCESS");
   }
}
