The Antlr 2 parser is treating any name starting with a capital letter as a
class and then finding a String constant where it expects a variable name
to be.
You can add the parentheses or move your TEST method to a helper class and
then use astatic import, e.g.:
import static MethodHelper.TEST as test
test 'hello'
Antlr4 parser has been made a bit smarter and can handle this case.
