Description

Due to the addition of static imports in generated stubs (per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7366), the following test now fails:

package org.codehaus.groovy.tools.stubgenerator


class ImportStaticPropertyTest extends StringSourcesStubTestCase {

  @Override
  Map<String, String> provideSources() {
      [
              'A.groovy': '''
                  package test
                  class A {
                      static String aString
                  }
              ''',

              'B.groovy': '''
                  package test
                  import static test.A.aString
                  class B {
                      String returnAString(){
                          return aString
                      }
                  }
              ''',

              'C.java': '''
                  package test;
                  public class C {
                      public static void main(String[] args) {
                          B b;
                      }
                  }
              '''
      ]
  }

  @Override
  void verifyStubs() {

  }
}

The error produced is:

error: cannot find symbol
import static test.A.aString;
^
  symbol:   static aString
  location: class

Adding a public modifier to aString will cause aString to be included in the generated stub for A, in which case the test will pass.
