Description

Similar to GROOVY-9678, bean-style property accesses in static inner class may be improperly flagged as an unresolved static reference. Consider the following:

class A {
  def getB() {
    'works'
  }
}
class C {
  @Mixin(A)
  static class D {
    void test() {
      println b
    }
  }
}
new C.D().test()

Access to mixin method "getB()" through the variable expression is flagged with "Apparent variable 'b' was found in a static scope but doesn't refer to a local variable, static field or class." If "b" is written as "getB()" or "this.b" the script compiles and executes as expected.
