-----------------------------------

             Summary: Type annotation value referencing inner class is not 
properly scoped
                 Key: GROOVY-8063
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8063
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compiler
    Affects Versions: 2.4.8
            Reporter: Eric Milles


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}
