[Java Spec Report] import static and Object's method

Hi everybody,
to explain to one of my friend how static import works,
i write the following code :

package fr.umlv.asmvisitor;

import static fr.umlv.asmvisitor.A.*;

class A {
   public static int finalize(int i) {
     return i;
   }
   public static int finalize2(int i) {
       return i;
   }
}

public class Test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     System.out.println(finalize2(3));
     System.out.println(finalize(3));  // this line is rejected by javac
   }
}

And the compiler rejects the last line with a weird message :
"finalize() in java.lang.Object cannot be applied to (int)".

So, i post a bug report but Johnathan
(X from Sun, i don't know his name) reply me this comment :

[quote]This behavior is expected.  The calls to finalize() do not 
referred to any class.  Try using "A.finalize2()" and "A.finalize()".[quote]

What do you think about this ?
