Description

Follow up to GROOVY-8531. Consider the following:

Outer.java

package pack;

class Outer {
  enum Inner {
    CONST
  }
  Outer(Inner inner) {
  }
}

Other.groovy

package pack

class Other extends Outer {
  Other() {
    super(Inner.CONST)
  }
}

The reference to the static inner class "Inner" should also work for package-private visibility. Currently public and protected are supported.
