Description

Output of the code

enum Color {
	R, G, B
	static Color[] ALL_COLORS = [R, G, B];
}

println Color.ALL_COLORS

is correct - [R, G, B]

But if I just make the static field public then the code fails with output as [null, null, null]

enum Color {
	R, G, B
	public static Color[] ALL_COLORS = [R, G, B];
}

println Color.ALL_COLORS
