TooManyStaticImports


TooManyStaticImports
If you overuse the static import feature, it can make your program unreadable and 
unmaintainable, polluting its namespace with all the static members you import. 
Readers of your code (including you, a few months after you wrote it) will not know 
which class a static member comes from (Sun 1.5 Language Guide).
		 
		
		
		    
    			This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
    			
    			
    .[count(ImportDeclaration[@Static = 'true']) &gt; $maximumStaticImports]
	             
  
		    
		    
	    
	    
        
        
        Example:
            
                    
import static Lennon;
import static Ringo;
import static George;
import static Paul;
import static Yoko; // Too much !
		  
            
  
        

        
        
            
                This rule has the following properties:
                Name Default value Description
                
                
                    

                    maximumStaticImports
                    
                    All static imports can be disallowed by setting this to 0
