[jira] [Closed] (GROOVY-11120) Unexpected error when using static method of class with lower case

["Jochen Theodorou (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11120?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jochen Theodorou closed GROOVY-11120.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

This is a known limitation in Groovy, which we introduced on purpose. Thus this won't be fixed. You can try "import bar.foo as Foo" and then use Foo to access the class.

> org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
> Main.groovy: 3: Apparent variable 'bar' was found in a static scope but doesn't refer to a local variable, static field or class. Possible causes:
> You attempted to reference a variable in the binding or an instance variable from a static context.
> You misspelled a classname or statically imported field. Please check the spelling.
> You attempted to use a method 'bar' but left out brackets in a place not allowed by the grammar.
