[jira] [Comment Edited] (GROOVY-9043) Access to package-scoped static field is forbidden for inner class in static compilation mode

--------------------------------------------------------------

If access to private fields is allowed from inner classes, an IllegalAccessError is thrown at run-time.  Java allows this, so there must be some bridge or something going on there.

{code:java}
public class Java9043 {
  private static final String CONST = "value";

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Java9043().new Inner().meth();
  }

  class Inner {
    void meth() {
      System.out.println(CONST);
    }
  }
}
{code}

This prints "value" as expected.
