Description

We have two Java classes: ChildClass and its super class ParentClass. Both have a static method get(). The get() method of ParentClass returns of course a parent class and the one of ChildClass a ChildClass. As static methods are not inherited this is ok with the java specification.

Trying to invoke ChildClass.get() in groovy, however, throws a NoSuchMethodError: games.stendhal.test.groovy.ParentClass.get()Lgames/stendhal/test/groovy/ChildClass;
For some strange reason groovy tries to invoke ParentClass.get() instead of ChildClass.get() but with the method signature of ChildClass.

Exspected result invoking of ChildClass.get()

Please see attached simplyfied test case.
