Description

e.g. paste this in Groovy web console:

​import java.nio.channels.*

abstract class Foo extends FileChannel {
  MapMode foo() { null }
}
print "hi"​​​

startup failed:
Script1.groovy: 5: unable to resolve class MapMode
@ line 5, column 3.
MapMode foo()

{ null }

^

1 error

If one qualifies the name: FileChannel.MapMode, the compilation succeeds
