First, all language decisions are decisions made by the language creators. There is nothing in the world of software engineering or language defining or compiler / interpreter writing which says that a static method cannot be part of an interface. I've created a couple of languages and written compilers for them -- it's all just sitting down and defining meaningful semantics. I'd argue that the semantics of a static method in an interface are remarkably clear -- even if the compiler has to defer resolution of the method to run-time.

其次，我们使用静态方法意味着有一个包含静态方法的接口模式的正当理由——我不能代表你们，但我经常使用静态方法。

The most likely correct answer is that there was no perceived need, at the time the language was defined, for static methods in interfaces. Java has grown a lot over the years and this is an item that has apparently gained some interest. That it was looked at for Java 7 indicates that its risen to a level of interest that might result in a language change. I, for one, will be happy when I no longer have to instantiate an object just so I can call my non-static getter method to access a static variable in a subclass instance ...

接口关注的是多态性，它本质上是绑定到对象实例的，而不是类。因此，静态在接口上下文中没有意义。

“是否有一个特殊的原因，静态方法不能被覆盖”。

让我把这个问题重新定义一下。

“在编译时解析的方法不能在运行时解析，是否有特殊原因?”

或者，更完整地说，如果我想在没有实例的情况下调用一个方法，但知道这个类，我怎么能根据我没有的实例来解析它呢?

随着Java 8的出现，现在可以在接口中编写默认方法和静态方法。 docs.oracle / staticMethod

例如:

public interface Arithmetic {

    public int add(int a, int b);

    public static int multiply(int a, int b) {
        return a * b;
    }
}

public class ArithmaticImplementation implements Arithmetic {

    @Override
    public int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int result = Arithmetic.multiply(2, 3);
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}

结果:6

提示:调用静态接口方法不需要由任何类实现。当然，这是因为适用于超类中的静态方法的规则同样适用于接口上的静态方法。

假设你能做到;想想这个例子:

interface Iface {
  public static void thisIsTheMethod();
}

class A implements Iface {

  public static void thisIsTheMethod(){
    system.out.print("I'm class A");
  }

}

class B extends Class A {

  public static void thisIsTheMethod(){
    System.out.print("I'm class B");
  } 
}

SomeClass {

  void doStuff(Iface face) {
    IFace.thisIsTheMethod();
    // now what would/could/should happen here.
  }

}

不能在接口中定义静态方法，因为静态方法属于类而不是类的实例，而接口不是类。点击这里阅读更多。

然而，如果你愿意，你可以这样做:

public class A {
  public static void methodX() {
  }
}

public class B extends A {
  public static void methodX() {
  }
}

在这种情况下，你有两个类，两个不同的静态方法称为methodX()。
