Description

Groovy subclasses of Java classses generate exception when trying to access (public) static fields from Java superclasses.

Test Code:

[BaseClass.java]

public class BaseClass {
public final static int TEST_INT = 1;
}

[TestSubClassCall.groovy]

class TestSubClassCall {
void run()

{ s = new SubClass() s.doIt() }

static void main(args)

{ (new TestSubClassCall()).run() }

}

class SubClass extends BaseClass {
static TEST_SUB_INT
public void doIt()

{ println "Works:" x1 = BaseClass.TEST_INT println "Also Works:" x2 = TEST_SUB_INT println "Fails:" x3 = TEST_INT println "Also Fails:" x4 = this.TEST_INT }

}

[Output]

Works:
Also Works:
Fails:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: TEST_INT for class: exp.SubClass
