Is there a way to override class variables in Java?
06:42 26 Mar 2009 
class Dad
{
    protected static String me = "dad";

    public void printMe()
    {
        System.out.println(me);
    }
}

class Son extends Dad
{
    protected static String me = "son";
}

public void doIt()
{
    new Son().printMe();
}

The function doIt will print "dad". Is there a way to make it print "son"?
