The clearest, and simplest, answer I have for this...
and I may be wrong here as I don't do very much JAVA work:

You cannot override static method because overriding is based upon binding at runtime and static methods are bonded at compile time.

I reviewed your link... basically the same answer just different words - and a little more detail. You asked for a simple answer.

That the answers would be similar shouldn't surprise anyone.... it is after-all the same programing language.
