Description

Running old code does not work anymore with groovy 1.7 beta 1 snapshot.

Outer.java :

public interface Outer {
  interface Inner {
    static String VAR = "value";
  }
}

script.groovy:

assert "value" == Outer.Inner.VAR

running script.groovy results in :
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: Inner for class: Outer
