Static members in Java
<p>I've read Statics in Java are not inherited. I've a small program below which compiles and produces <code>2 2</code> as output when run. From the program it looks like k (a static variable) is being inherited !! What am I doing wrong?</p>

<pre><code>class Super
{
    int i =1;
    static int k = 2;
    public static void print()
    {
        System.out.println(k);
    }
}
class Sub extends Super
{
    public void show()
    {
        // I was expecting compile error here. But it works !!
        System.out.println(" k : " + k);
    }
    public static void main(String []args)
    {
        Sub m =new Sub();
        m.show();
        print();
    }
} 
</code></pre>
