  <p>I rarely ever see a static import in java like this:</p>
  
  <p><code>import static java.lang.Math.*;</code></p>
  
  <p>Then you could access <code>PI</code> without having to call <code>Math.PI</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Since you don't see this that often, does that mean it is a bad design to do this?</p>
