Description

So I have a class that defines:

public static Environment getCurrentEnvironment()

I use this class like:

import static grails.util.Environment.*

However this throws a MPE:

println currentEnvironment

whilst this works

println getCurrentEnvironment()

Seems wrong that propery notation should work for a static getter when it works when used directly:

import grails.util.Environment

println Environment.currentEnvironment
