Paul King closed GROOVY-8032.
-----------------------------
> nested classes on interfaces are not static
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8032
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8032
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: class generator
> Affects Versions: 2.4.7
> Reporter: Christopher Smith
> Priority: Minor
>
> According to the JLS, "A member type declaration in an interface is
> implicitly {{static}} and {{public}}", and there does not seem to be any
> reason for Groovy to support non-static nested classes on interfaces.
> However, classes not explicitly marked {{static}} do not have the static flag
> set. This appears to be a simple bug in the class generator, as the generated
> constructor does not attempt to store an outer reference or otherwise behave
> as an inner class. It does, however, break reflective code (Jackson) that
> gets very confused when looking for an eligible constructor.
> {code}
> interface Example {
> class Response {
> int code
> }
> }
> {code}
> Expected result: {{Example$Response}} has the static modifier flag set.
> Actual result: It does not.
