Description

Running the code below, "Derived Class" is expected to be printed out, but instead "Base Class" is printed.

class Base {
    static final String CONST = "Base Class"
}

class Derived extends Base {
    static final String CONST = "Derived Class"
}

println Derived.CONST

When writing this same code in Java, "Derived Class" is properly printed out.
