Description

file Base.groovy:

package groovy.bugs.groovy9243

class Base {
    static class X {}
}

file Main.groovy:

package groovy.bugs.groovy9243

class Groovy9243 extends Base {
    def accessX() {
        assert new X()
    }
}

new Groovy9243().accessX()

compile Main.groovy with groovyc: unable to resolve class X

Here is a workaround:
file Main.groovy:

package groovy.bugs.groovy9243

class Groovy9243 extends Base {
    def accessX() {
        assert new Base.X()  // qualify the type name
    }
}

new Groovy9243().accessX()
