Using ASTRewrite, I am unable to set/remove static flag of import declaration correctly.

Example import declarations:
  import static org.eclipse.ClassA.A;
  import org.eclipse.ClassB.B;

I am trying to make second import static, first non-static using the following code:
  rewriter.set(importDeclaration1, ImportDeclaration.STATIC_PROPERTY, false, null);
  rewriter.set(importDeclaration2, ImportDeclaration.STATIC_PROPERTY, true, null);

The output after rewrite:
  import static org.eclipse.ClassA.A;
  static import org.eclipse.ClassB.B;

"static" keyword is not removed from first import declaration and is added incorrectly to the second import declaration. According to JLS 3, "static" keyword should follow "import" keyword (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/packages.html#26741).
