Description

If I want to call a static method, I have to explicitly import the class and can not use an asterix in import.
This also happen, if the class with the static method is in the same package.

Example:

===== this does not work =======

// File: somepackage/ClassWithStaticMethod.groovy

package somepackage

class ClassWithStaticMethod {
static staticMethod() {}
}

// File: anotherpackage/ClassCallingStaticMethod.groovy

package anotherpackage

import somepackage.*

class ClassCallingStaticMethod {
def someMethod()

{ ClassWithStaticMethod.staticMethod() }
}

===== this works =======

package somepackage

class ClassWithStaticMethod {
static staticMethod() {}
}


package anotherpackage

import somepackage.ClassWithStaticMethod

class ClassCallingStaticMethod {
def someMethod() { ClassWithStaticMethod.staticMethod() }

}
