Re: Static methods overridden !!

Technically speaking static methods ARE OVERRIDDEN, not at the object
level ofcourse at the class level as invocation of statics is not
object dependent. Also, we cannot take the advantage of polymorphism
in case of the static methods but thats not the point. Static methods
are overridden.

Speaking in terms of the JLS, static methods are hidden, not overriden. See [1] for details.
