Why can't I import static java.lang.System.out.println?

Question

It seems strange that I can\'t import static java.lang.System.out.println, when I can import static java.lang.Math.abs. Is there some reason behind this or am I doing somet

Answer 1

My solution

package example.tools;

public class ShowMe {
    /*public static void print(String arg) {
       System.out.println(arg);
    }*/
    // or better as ceving's example
    public static<T> void print(T arg) {
        System.out.println(arg);
    }
}

In another class

import static example.tools.ShowMe.*;
    public class Flower {
        Flower() {
            print("Rose");
        }
    }
