Is it possible to extend two classes?

Question

I want to do something like :
public class C extends A, B {
public class E extends A, D {
}The two classes have things in A in common, but have to extend other different classes (B, D) as there are other differences.

Answer 1

Make A an interface. I mean it. Make A an interface.Thanks for the suggestion but I have identical code to duplicate and wanted an abstract class
class A{
   private String commonValue;
   public String getCommonValue() { return commonValue; }
   public void processSomething() {
       // Will be identical code for every class needing A
}I guess I need to make another abstract class and have that extend and than the parent class extend this..
Just seems annoying to duplicate the same code 5 times
