Pascal Schumacher updated GROOVY-7762:
--------------------------------------
Description:
If both the parent class and the child are in the same file or project (i.e.
they are being compiled together), this works; however, if the parent is
compiled into a separate JAR, the child class is unable to see the parents
inner classes.
Example:
{code}class X {
static class Y {}
}{code}
Compile X into a separate JAR.
{code}class Z extends X {
Z() {
Y y = new Y();
}
}{code}
Compiling Z will cause an error.
was:
Classes that extend another class with static inner classes are unable to see
the inner classes without including the parent class name as part of the class
reference.
Example:
{code}
class X {
static class Y {}
}
class Z extends X {
Z() {
Y y = new Y();
}
}
{code}
The compiler fails to compile "Z" saying it cannot resolve class "Y"; however,
it will accept "X.Y y = new X.Y()".
The child class should not have to reference the parent class directly to get
to its inner classes, should it?
