How to do static import in Eclipse - Java

Do you know what is shortcut of doing static import in Eclipse? Well I didn't know before, but today I come to know that shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M (Source > Add Import) can not only be used to add missing imports but It can also help with static import in Java program.  Suppose you are using lots of static variable from a utility class e.g. TimeUnit by referring them with class name, just like we refer static variable. In Eclipse IDE, you can select the whole reference variable and press Ctrl+Shift+M and it will automatically import that static element using static import in Java.
