No, not really - see here: http://geekexplains.blogspot.com/2008/06/can-you-override-static-methods-in-java.html[^]

A simple google would have found that for you - it did for me "override static methods in java" and it was top of the list. Next time, try using google first...

Hehe, was just reading that and decided to post another link after all... :)
Lucky I did, or we would have given the same answer! Could you imagine! :|
Anyway, my 5 for the answer. I sort of implied the Google thing too.

Great minds and all that... :laugh:
I liked the explanation this gave of why it doesn't work.
