Static imports in J2SE 5.0

Do you hate to type Java code? Static imports helps you save some typing. If you are using a static class or a static variable, you can import them and save some typing. The simple example below, should clarify this concept:

import static java.lang.Math.*;
import static java.lang.System.out;

public class MyMath5
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    // returns a double between 0.0 thro' (but not
    // including) 1.0
    double r1 = random();
    int r2 = (int) (random() * 5);
    out.println("r1 = " + r1);
    out.println("r2 = " + r2);

    // Returns the absolute value of the argument
    int x = abs(-240);
    double d = abs(240.45);
    out.println("x = " + x);
    out.println("d = " + d);

    // Returns an int or long (depending on whether
    // the argument is foat or double)
    // rounded to the nearest integer value
    int p = round(-24.8f);
    long q = round(24.45);
    out.println("p = " + p);
    out.println("q = " + q);

    // Returns a value that is minimum of two values
    int c = min(243, 240);
    double dd = min(90876.5, 90876.49);
    out.println("c = " + c);
    out.println("dd = " + dd);

    // Returns a value that is maximum of two values
    int e = max(243, 240);
    double f = max(90876.5, 90876.49);
    out.println("e = " + e);
    out.println("f = " + f);
  }
}
