contrived use of extends to access static members

[Noble Paul നോബിള്‍ नोब्ळ्]

instead of using

import static org.apache.solr.util.SolrPluginUtils.*;

there is an inner class as follows
/** shorten the class references for utilities */
  private static class U extends SolrPluginUtils {
    /* :NOOP */
  }

in two places DismaxQParser   and RequesthandlerBase
