Description

Hello, when I try to create two files in the same directory:

B.groovy

class B {
    static class C { }
}

A.groovy

new B.C()

Then trying to run A.groovy with the groovy command gives a compilation error:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
/home/webczat/A.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class B.C
 @ line 1, column 1.
   new B.C()
   ^
1 error
