Refactoring a Class Without Static Imports [message #798625] Tue, 14 February 2012 17:53 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I am refactoring a class containing public static final fields. Eclipse is proposing to update the references to the moved class using static imports. How do I prevent this and have Eclipse use a standard import?


Don't want this:
import static MyClass.MY_STATIC_FIELD;


Want this:
import MyClass;

Try to put that MyClass into particular package then import that package then you can access it.

Sorry I wasn't clear earlier. The class is already in a package. It's not that I can't access it. I am using the Move refactoring and Eclipse is Updating References to the class, but it is using static imports instead of regular imports in those classes.


Don't want this:
import static com.pkg.MyClass.MY_STATIC_FIELD;


Want this:
import com.pkg.MyClass;

you can directly write the classpath i.e import com.pkg.MyClass; it will not warn or give any error for doing this thing.
and more over static fields can be accessed directly using classname.staticfieldname rather than objectname.staticfieldname, because static field are only one for a class and common for all the object of that class i.e only one copy of static field is shared by all the objects .
Static field is the part of Class not part of object

I am not able to reproduce this. I get only the standard import!
