Description

I have two Java classes: Parent Class has a static method get() and ChildClass does not.
When I call ChildClass.get() in Java Class, It success to execute method.
When I call ChildClass.get() in groovy, It causes a Exception like bellow.

I think GROOVY-1484 issue, which is fixed in RC-1, is a relative problem.

Please see attached test case.
