[math] J2SE 1.5 static import of methods
Maybe you all know about this feature of the just-beta Java 1.5, but I was
pleasantly surprised to learn on slide 46 of the presentation below
http://www.javasig.com/Archive/lectures/JavaSIG-Tiger.pdf
that the new static import feature allows you to write things like
import static Math;
x = cos(PI * theta);
instead of
x = Math.cos(Math.PI * theta);
(Note that not only does "PI" not need to be qualified by "Math.", neither does
the "cos" call.)
It'll be nice when the day comes that we can actually use this feature as the
default....

That doesn't mean that development can't go on with the latest and
greatest -- that's what experimental branches in CVS are for.

Yeah, really. It's unfortunate that so many vendors and corporations
lag behind the latest Java versions. There are so many cool new
features in 1.5, and some good new classes also.
