> This code does not generate a compilation error -- it does in Java.  Inner should be unresolvable without a qualifier or import when referenced in the type annotation.
> {code}
> @Anno(value=Inner)
> class Outer {
>   static class Inner {}
> }
> @interface Anno { Class value() }
> {code}
> For comparison, this code behaves the same in Groovy and Java.  VALUE is not resolvable without a qualifier or static import.
> {code}
> @Anno(value=VALUE)
> class Outer {
> public static final Stirng VALUE = ''
> }
> @interface Anno { String value() }
> {code}
