Description

The attached staticimport.zip contains the following:

src/main/groovy/demo/util/Helper.java

package demo.util;

public abstract class Helper {
    public static class Foo {}
}

src/main/groovy/demo/Demo.groovy

package demo

import demo.util.Helper
import static demo.util.Helper.*

class Demo extends Helper {
    Foo foo
}

The code will not compile with Groovy 2.4.0-rc-1, 2.4.0-rc-2 or 2.4.0.

$ ./gradlew clean cG
:clean
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:compileGroovy
startup failed:
/Users/jeff/staticimport/src/main/groovy/demo/Demo.groovy: 7: unable to resolve class Foo 
 @ line 7, column 5.
       Foo foo

If I edit build.gradle and change the Groovy version to 2.3.9 then the code will compile. Also, the problem doesn't appear to happen if Demo does not extend Helper.
