Description

Static import does not work from Groovy scripts.

Example:

foo/Constants.groovy:

package foo

class Constants {
    static final PI = 3.14
}

foo/Test.groovy

package foo
import static foo.Constants.PI

class Test {
    static main(args) {
        println("pi=" + PI)
    }
}

When you try to run this (without compling with groovyc first), you get:

groovy -cp . foo\Test.groovy
Caught: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: PI for class: foo.Test
        at foo.Test.main(Test.groovy:6)

If you first run "groovyc foo\Constants.groovy" the above command succeeds.
