Yes you can override static methods..
see the following two classes :
public class Super
{
public static void main(String args[])
{

}

public static void m1()
{
System.out.println("superclass");
}
}


public class Sub extends Super
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Super superWalaObj = new Sub();
superWalaObj.m1();

Sub subWalaObj = new Sub();
subWalaObj.m1();
}

public static void m1()
{
System.out.println("subclass");
}
}

Running this gives the following output :
superclass
subclass

Which explains the behaviour itself.

By overriding the static methods we are forcing them to
behave as non-static methods when used with object.
However, making a call directly to the staticy. method will
call the method belonging to that class only

Is a class a subclass of itself?
