What does redefining static methods mean in Java?

Question

I\'ve been reading a section on Statics in the SCJP study guide, and it mentions the following :

static methods can\'t be overridden, but they can be r

Answer 1

In rajah9's answer if now we make the two methods static both in parent and child:

public static void getKey() {
        System.out.println("I am in and my key is " + key);
    }

Two things to note now: Can't use 'this.getClass()' and warning 'The static method getKey() from the type Parent should be accessed in a static way' also

Parent z = new Child();
  z.getKey();

Will give the output

I am in class tools.Parent and my key is 3

instead of

I am in class tools.Parent and my key is 33
