             Summary: Unexpected error when using static method of class with lower case
                 Key: GROOVY-11120
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11120
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Static Type Checker
            Reporter: Thodoris Sotiropoulos


I have the following class that resides in package named "bar", and its corresponding client.

{code}
package bar;

public class foo {
  public static void create(String x) {}
}
// client code

class Main {
  static final void test() {
    bar.foo.create("fda");
  }
}
{code}

h3. Actual behavior

{code}
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.
 @ line 3, column 5.
       bar.foo.create("fda");
       ^

1 error
{code}

h3. Expected behavior

Compile successfully

h3. Notes

Tested against master

Test case adapted from the following code that uses the javassist library.

{code}
class Main {
  static final void test() throws Exception {
    javassist.tools.framedump.main(null);
  }
}
{code}
