静态方法被JVM视为全局方法，根本不绑定到对象实例。

如果可以从类对象中调用静态方法(就像在Smalltalk等语言中那样)，那么在概念上是可能的，但在Java中却不是这样。

EDIT

你可以重载静态方法，没关系。但是你不能重写静态方法，因为类不是一级对象。您可以使用反射在运行时获取对象的类，但所获得的对象并不与类层次结构并行。

class MyClass { ... }
class MySubClass extends MyClass { ... }

MyClass obj1 = new MyClass();
MySubClass obj2 = new MySubClass();

ob2 instanceof MyClass --> true

Class clazz1 = obj1.getClass();
Class clazz2 = obj2.getClass();

clazz2 instanceof clazz1 --> false

你可以对类进行反射，但它仅限于此。使用clazz1.staticMethod()不会调用静态方法，而是使用MyClass.staticMethod()。静态方法不绑定到对象，因此在静态方法中没有this或super的概念。静态方法是一个全局函数;因此，也没有多态性的概念，因此，方法重写没有意义。

但是，如果MyClass在运行时是一个调用方法的对象，这是可能的，就像在Smalltalk(或者可能是一个评论建议的JRuby，但我对JRuby一无所知)。

哦是的…还有一件事。您可以通过对象obj1.staticMethod()调用静态方法，但这实际上是MyClass.staticMethod()的语法糖，应该避免。在现代IDE中，它通常会引发一个警告。我不知道他们为什么允许走这条捷径。

重写依赖于类的实例。多态性的意义在于，您可以子类化一个类，而实现这些子类的对象对于父类中定义的相同方法将具有不同的行为(并且在子类中被重写)。静态方法不与类的任何实例相关联，因此这个概念不适用。

There were two considerations driving Java's design that impacted this. One was a concern with performance: there had been a lot of criticism of Smalltalk about it being too slow (garbage collection and polymorphic calls being part of that) and Java's creators were determined to avoid that. Another was the decision that the target audience for Java was C++ developers. Making static methods work the way they do had the benefit of familiarity for C++ programmers and was also very fast, because there's no need to wait until runtime to figure out which method to call.

Well... the answer is NO if you think from the perspective of how an overriden method should behave in Java. But, you don't get any compiler error if you try to override a static method. That means, if you try to override, Java doesn't stop you doing that; but you certainly don't get the same effect as you get for non-static methods. Overriding in Java simply means that the particular method would be called based on the run time type of the object and not on the compile time type of it (which is the case with overriden static methods). Okay... any guesses for the reason why do they behave strangely? Because they are class methods and hence access to them is always resolved during compile time only using the compile time type information. Accessing them using object references is just an extra liberty given by the designers of Java and we should certainly not think of stopping that practice only when they restrict it :-)

示例:让我们试着看看如果我们尝试重写一个静态方法会发生什么:-

class SuperClass {
// ......
public static void staticMethod() {
    System.out.println("SuperClass: inside staticMethod");
}
// ......
}

public class SubClass extends SuperClass {
// ......
// overriding the static method
public static void staticMethod() {
    System.out.println("SubClass: inside staticMethod");
}

// ......
public static void main(String[] args) {
    // ......
    SuperClass superClassWithSuperCons = new SuperClass();
    SuperClass superClassWithSubCons = new SubClass();
    SubClass subClassWithSubCons = new SubClass();

    superClassWithSuperCons.staticMethod();
    superClassWithSubCons.staticMethod();
    subClassWithSubCons.staticMethod();
    // ...
}
}

输出: SuperClass:在staticMethod内部 SuperClass:在staticMethod内部 子类:staticMethod内部

注意输出的第二行。如果staticMethod被重写，这一行应该与第三行相同，因为我们在运行时类型的对象上调用'staticMethod()'作为'子类'而不是'超类'。这证实了静态方法总是只使用它们的编译时类型信息进行解析。

重写静态方法有什么好处呢?不能通过实例调用静态方法。

MyClass.static1()
MySubClass.static1()   // If you overrode, you have to call it through MySubClass anyway.

编辑:似乎由于语言设计中的一个不幸疏忽，您可以通过实例调用静态方法。一般没人会这么做。我的坏。

Overriding in Java simply means that the particular method would be called based on the runtime type of the object and not on the compile-time type of it (which is the case with overridden static methods). As static methods are class methods they are not instance methods so they have nothing to do with the fact which reference is pointing to which Object or instance, because due to the nature of static method it belongs to a specific class. You can redeclare it in the subclass but that subclass won't know anything about the parent class' static methods because, as I said, it is specific to only that class in which it has been declared. Accessing them using object references is just an extra liberty given by the designers of Java and we should certainly not think of stopping that practice only when they restrict it more details and example http://faisalbhagat.blogspot.com/2014/09/method-overriding-and-method-hiding.html

静态方法、变量、块或嵌套类属于整个类而不是对象。

Java中的方法用于公开对象/类的行为。在这里，由于方法是静态的(即静态方法仅用于表示类的行为)，改变/覆盖整个类的行为将违反面向对象编程的基本支柱之一，即高内聚。(记住构造函数在Java中是一种特殊的方法。)

高内聚性——一个类应该只有一个角色。例如:car类应该只生成汽车对象，而不生成自行车、卡车、飞机等。但是Car类可能有一些只属于它自己的特性(行为)。

因此，在设计java编程语言时。语言设计者认为，只有通过使方法本质上是静态的，才能允许开发人员保留类的某些行为。

下面的代码尝试覆盖静态方法，但不会遇到任何编译错误。

public class Vehicle {
static int VIN;

public static int getVehileNumber() {
    return VIN;
}}

class Car extends Vehicle {
static int carNumber;

public static int getVehileNumber() {
    return carNumber;
}}

这是因为，在这里我们没有重写一个方法，而只是重新声明它。Java允许重新声明一个方法(静态/非静态)。

从Car类的getVehileNumber()方法中删除静态关键字将导致编译错误，因为，我们正在尝试改变只属于Vehicle类的静态方法的功能。

此外，如果getVehileNumber()被声明为final，那么代码将无法编译，因为final关键字限制程序员重新声明方法。

public static final int getVehileNumber() {
return VIN;     }

总的来说，这取决于软件设计人员在哪里使用静态方法。 我个人更喜欢使用静态方法来执行某些操作，而不需要创建类的任何实例。第二，对外界隐藏一个类的行为。
