Description

Attachment bug1.zip contains 2 groovy projects ("foo" and "bar") plus an ant project (under folder "ant") to perform the groovydoc. I've tried groovydoc by:

• running "ant" in the "ant" folder (I used apache-ant-1.8.4)
• running "build.xml" as an Ant Build in eclipse (I used juno-4.2)
  The documentation is written to the folder "doc". I used "ant" for the attachment version.

The build.xml copies the groovy files to a separate folder before invoking groovydoc. AFAICS this makes no difference to this problem - I get the same if I direct groovydoc to use the groovy files in their project folders.

Class foo.Deriv is defined like this:

foo.Deriv.groovy

package foo
import bar.Alias as Al
class Deriv extends Base {
	Al.Enum alias = null
	Snafu[] snafu = null
}

where bar.Alias.Enum is an enum type.

The page for foo.Deriv (doc/foo/Deriv.html) shows the property "alias" has type "Al".

I think this is wrong: groovydoc should show the property type

• as either "Al.Enum" or "bar.Alias.Enum"
• with a link to the page for bar.Alias.Enum (ie, to doc/bar/Alias.Enum.html)
