Description

Dynamically created static fields don't show up as properties as do non-dynamic static fields. The book authors field shows up and is accessible but the book2 authors does not.

class Book {
    def name
    def map = [:]
}
Book.metaClass.authors = [:]
def book = new Book(name: "Groovy")
book.metaClass.properties.each(){println it.name}
println "**********************************"

class Book2 {
    def name
    def static staticMap = [:]
}
Book2.metaClass.static.authors = [:]
def book2 = new Book2(name: "Failure")
book2.metaClass.properties.each(){println it.name}
