[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-7975) Use of static final field in an annotation element causes compile errors

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7975?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eric Milles updated GROOVY-7975:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Using a class constant (static final field) in an annotation causes compile errors.  This works in Java and the fix is pretty small.

Ex: <code>
            class C {
              public static final String VALUE = 'rawtypes'
              @SuppressWarnings(VALUE)
              def method() {
              }
            }
</code>
This is a bit contrived to be concise.  But we have examples in our code where Callable impls are tagged with a name, which is defined as a static constant on each class.

The fix appears to be pretty minor.  In ResolveVisitor.transformInlineConstants, a case for VariableExpression does the trick for me.

        } else if (exp instanceof VariableExpression) {
            VariableExpression ve = (VariableExpression) exp;
            if (ve.getAccessedVariable() instanceof FieldNode) {
                FieldNode fn = (FieldNode) ve.getAccessedVariable();
                if (!fn.isEnum() && fn.isStatic() && fn.isFinal() &&
                        fn.getInitialValueExpression() instanceof ConstantExpression) {
                    return fn.getInitialValueExpression();
                }
            }
