Description

Misbehaves in the same way regardless of @CompileStatic:

import java.util.logging.Logger

//@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
class Foo {

  private static final transient Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Foo.class.getName()) 
  void method() {
    log.info('some info')
  }
  static class Bar {
    void method() {
      log.info('some inner info')
    }
    static class Baz {
       void method() {
        log.info('some inner inner info')
      }
    }
  }
}

new Foo().method() // => INFO: some info
new Foo.Bar().method() // => INFO: some inner info
new Foo.Bar.Baz().method() // => groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: log for class: Foo$Bar
