下面的代码表明这是可能的:

class OverridenStaticMeth {   

static void printValue() {   
System.out.println("Overriden Meth");   
}   

}   

public class OverrideStaticMeth extends OverridenStaticMeth {   

static void printValue() {   
System.out.println("Overriding Meth");   
}   

public static void main(String[] args) {   
OverridenStaticMeth osm = new OverrideStaticMeth();   
osm.printValue();   

System.out.println("now, from main");
printValue();

}   

} 

Here is a simple explanation. A static method is associated with a class while an instance method is associated with a particular object. Overrides allow calling the different implementation of the overridden methods associated with the particular object. So it is counter-intuitive to override static method which is not even associated with objects but the class itself in the first place. So static methods cannot be overridden based on what object is calling it, it will always be associated with the class where it was created.

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。

重写是为实例成员保留的，以支持多态行为。静态类成员不属于特定实例。相反，静态成员属于类，因此不支持重写，因为子类只继承受保护和公共实例成员，而不继承静态成员。您可能希望定义一个接口，并研究工厂和/或策略设计模式，以评估替代方法。

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。

通过重写，可以实现动态多态。 当您说覆盖静态方法时，您试图使用的词语是矛盾的。

静态表示-编译时，重写用于动态多态性。 两者在性质上是相反的，因此不能同时使用。

动态多态行为发生在程序员使用对象并访问实例方法时。JRE将根据您使用的对象类型映射不同类的不同实例方法。

当你说覆盖静态方法时，我们将使用类名访问静态方法，它将在编译时被链接，因此没有在运行时将方法与静态方法链接的概念。因此，术语“重写”静态方法本身没有任何意义。

注意:即使你用一个对象访问一个类方法，java编译器仍然有足够的智能来发现它，并会做静态链接。
