Description

With static compilation, accessing a public static class variable within an enum causes a compilation error.

import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

@CompileStatic  // compiles without this
class PublicStaticInEnum {
    public static double FOO = 0.0d  // compiles without "public"

    enum MyEnum {
       FOO_VAL(FOO)  // Access to example.PublicStaticInEnum$MyEnum#FOO is forbidden

       double myDouble

       MyEnum(double myDouble) {
          this.myDouble = myDouble
       }
    }
} 

This example fails to compile with:  Access to example.PublicStaticInEnum$MyEnum#FOO is forbidden
