Does salesforce Apex support inheritance of static methods?

Question

public virtual class parent {
    public static void doStuff(){system.debug('stuff');} 
}

public class child extends parent{}

When I call

child.doStuff();

I get this error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: child.doStuff()

Are static methods not inherited in salesforce or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Apex is consistent with Java on this. Statics are not inherited.
