Daniil Ovchinnikov commented on GROOVY-8354:
--------------------------------------------
[~emilles] You are forgetting that a package cannot be referenced as it makes
little sense contrary to referencing a class.
I got a lot of troubles trying to support this _bug_ in IDEA.
> Star imports allow partially-qualified types

> Key: GROOVY-8354
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8354
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Eric Milles
>
> Star imports like {{import java.lang.*}} allow partially-qualified references
> like {{reflect.Field}} to work. It appears this only works with explicit
> star imports in a compilation unit, not default imports.
> Some may call this a feature, but I couldn't find any description of it in
> the [language
> documentation|http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#_star_import].
> And this bug results in a lot of extra work during type resolution, in
> addition to the confusion it causes for Java developers.
> I'm expecting an error for this, but it works just fine.
> {code}
> import groovy.transform.*
> @builder.Builder
> class Buildable {
> Number number
> String string
> }
> ​println Buildable.builder().build()
> {code}
