Description

stumbled across this bug while doing some drools SMF testing with the groovy semantic module.

When you try to assign a static nested class to a groovy variable, a groovy.lang.MissingClassException is thrown:

The error from the sample class is:

groovy.lang.MissingClassException: No such class: Foo.Bar in constructor call for class: groovy. At [1:137] groovy.script
