Description

The following:

import groovy.transform.*

@CompileStatic
class Foo {
   static bar = "hello"
}

@CompileStatic
class Bar extends Foo{
   static something() {
       println bar
   }
}
new Bar().something()

Produces:

Access to java.lang.Object#bar is forbidden at line: -1, column: -1

Changing the println to:

       println getBar()

fixes the problem, but shouldn't be necessary.

In addition, even if using only 'bar' was to be forbidden, the line number information is incorrect
