Description Dennis Huebner CLA 2014-10-14 11:07:42 EDT 
import org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI

class Test2 {
	
	def URI getURI(){
		return URI.createURI("myURI")
	}
}

return URI. links against getURI() so an error is reported: "The static method createURI(String) should be accessed in a static way"

Not sure if we should change the precedence here, though it has caused confusion quite often.
Comment 2 Sven Efftinge CLA 2015-02-02 07:19:30 EST 
As a "simple" help, we could discourage property access when the property starts with upper case.
