Description Benjamin Weber CLA 2011-11-29 17:44:26 EST 
Build Identifier: 201109131000

A static import used only in an annotation gives a warning - and the quick fix offers to remove it, which breaks compilation.

Here is the text version for convenience:

package scratchpad;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType;

import static scratchpad.Foo.BAR; 

@XmlType(name=BAR)
public class Foo {
	protected static final String BAR = "bar";
}


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a package "scratchpad"
2. Create a new class called Foo in said package
3. Copy and paste above code into class Foo
4. Observe warning on the static import, as per screenshot

I'll follow up.

I am not able to reproduce this using bare bones 3.8 M4 Build id: I20111027-1800.
Can you check with this version above which is the latest as of now? 

Anything else you can think off which I could be missing in my set up ? 

See also https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=261323 which was
an identical case which also went unreproducible from our end.

What is the full build identifier ? Can you try with minimal eclipse SDK ? 

Jay, can you try and see if you can reproduce this ?

No, I tried with 4.2 M4 and I can't reproduce this.

Any updates on this ?

There is nothing that can be done from our side.
If you can check against bare bones eclipse SDK
on a clean work space with out of the box settings,
please reopen.
