[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-11877) anon. inner class is never static

Eric Milles created GROOVY-11877:
------------------------------------

             Summary: anon. inner class is never static
                 Key: GROOVY-11877
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11877
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compiler
            Reporter: Eric Milles


Consider the following:
{code:groovy}
interface I {
  def foo = new Object() {}
}
{code}

The anon. inner class I$1 is static because it is within an interface.  However, JLS 15.9.5 states "An anonymous class is always an inner class".  And JLS 8.1.3 further states "An inner class is a nested class that is not explicitly or implicitly static."
