Can this code be right?

[Dillinger4]

This is a code block that is posted under the docs for the java.util.Formatter class on sun's site. Ive never seen the static keyword used in an import statement and Calendar is a class, abstract, but still a class not a package so why the added .*?

// Format a string containing a date.
   import java.util.Calendar;
   import java.util.GregorianCalendar;   
   import static java.util.Calendar.*;

   Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar(1995, MAY, 23);
   String s = String.format("Duke's Birthday: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", c);
   // -> s == "Duke's Birthday: May 23, 1995"
