no we cannot overriding the static methods .
if we override the static method it will gives error

Yes, V can override static methods
But overridding and overridden methods must static

yes ,we can override the static methods to a nonstatic or 
static methods

YES, WE CAN OVERRIDE STATIC METHODS BY STATIC METHODS

yes ,we can override the static methods to static methods 
only.
 sorry for the previous my wrong answer.:((((

Yes, Static Methods can be overridden but it won't give 
overridden behaviour. Overiding execution happens based on 
the runtime object.

It may seems to be overriding the static methods, but the
real fact is HIDING. 

             class Foo {
    public static void classMethod() {
        System.out.println("classMethod() in Foo");
		
    }

    public void instanceMethod() {
        System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Foo");
    }
}

class Bar extends Foo {
    public static void classMethod() {
        System.out.println("classMethod() in Bar");
		
    }

    public void instanceMethod() {
        System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Bar");
    }
}
 
class StaticHiding {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo f = new Bar();
		
        f.instanceMethod();
        f.classMethod();


when u run this program output will be:
   
          instanceMethod() in Bar
          classMethod() in Foo.

              Here if u say it to be overriding then the
subclass ie., Bar class having static classMethod() should
be executed. But the fact here is Foo class static
classMethod() is executed. 
 
                So its method HIDING and not method
overriding.. 
 
                 I hope i have given answer to my best if
anyone feels wrong plz do post ur suggestions..

yes we can override static method but can not overload that 
is called method hiding nt overloading.

Neha,

I didn't get your answer.
You can overload as well as override static methods, but 
only with static methods.

I have tried it and it is getting compiled.

Example is here.
*********************************************************
public class abc
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{

	}
	public static void trss()
	{

	}
	public static void trss(int i)
	{
	}

}
*********************************************************

we cannot override a static method but we can overload a 
static method.
Ex: override is not possible
class Foo {
    public static void classMethod() {
        System.out.println("classMethod() in Foo");
		
    }

    public void instanceMethod() {
        System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Foo");
    }
}

class Bar extends Foo {
    public static void classMethod() {
        System.out.println("classMethod() in Bar");
		
    }

    public void instanceMethod() {
        System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Bar");
    }
}
 
class StaticHiding {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo f = new Bar();
		
        f.instanceMethod();
        f.classMethod();


when u run this program output will be:
          instanceMethod() in Bar
          classMethod() in Foo.

Ex: overload is possible
public class abc
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{

	}
	public static void trss()
	{

	}
	public static void trss(int i)
	{
	}

}

Thanks for addition.
You are correct.

Static method cannot be overridden.
Overloading of static methods is possible.

dear yogesh 
sory for wrong answer we can not override static method 
with static method that known as method hiding.plz view 
following example
Briefly, when you override a method, you still get the 
benefits of run-time polymorphism, and when you hide, you 
don't. So what does that mean? Take a look at this code:

class Foo {
    public static void classMethod() {
        System.out.println("classMethod() in Foo");
    }

    public void instanceMethod() {
        System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Foo");
    }
}

class Bar extends Foo {
    public static void classMethod() {
        System.out.println("classMethod() in Bar");
    }

    public void instanceMethod() {
        System.out.println("instanceMethod() in Bar");
    }
}
 
class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo f = new Bar();
        f.instanceMethod();
        f.classMethod();
    }
}
If you run this, the output is
instanceMethod() in Bar
classMethod() in Foo

We can't override the static method we can only redefine 
them

Yes, We can! see Below---
public  class Final1 {
	public static void mone() {
	System.out.println("Iam in final method of          
super class");
	}
}
public  class Final extends Final1{
	
	public static void mone() {
		System.out.println("Iam in final method of 
sub class");
	}
public static void main(String a[]) {
Final f = new Final();
f.mone();
}
	
}

Static methods can be hidden it cannot be overriden
