The problem on importing static methods in Eclipse was reported quite a long ago, so I thought it was resolved in M4. Maybe we have to wait for another M release for complete "complete Java 5" support from Eclipse :-) By the way, NetBeans 4.0 was also finalized, and fortunately has no trouble about new syntactic features.
