Description

A.groovy:

package foo

class A {
  static bar() {}
}

B.groovy:

package foo

import static A.* // compile error: unable to resolve class A

class B {
  def baz() {
    bar()
  }

}

"import static foo.A.*" and "import static A.bar" work as expected.

It does not really seem to be related to import static feature because even compilation of the following fails.

Pretty basic usage. Seems to be a serious bug!

It can't see groovy classes of the same package!

A.groovy

package foo

class A {}

B.groovy

package foo

class B {
  def baz() {
    new A()
  }
}

for B to find A.groovy during compilation A.groovy has to be in a directory foo and the directory containing foo has to be in the classpath. Or both files have to be given to the compiler.

as for the static import.. I am a bit puzzled as of why A.bar works, but A.* does not.

I see. I just put the files in the same directory but other things you said were not followed. I will put them there and re-try the original issue reported here.
