{{Main|Method (computer programming)#Static methods}}

Static methods is another language feature introduced in Java SE 8. They behave in exactly the same way as in the classes.

<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
interface StringUtils {
    static String shortenByOneSymbol(String input) {
        return input.substring(1);
    }
}

StringUtils.shortenByOneSymbol("Test");
</syntaxhighlight>
