Calling organize import with a static import on a package private constant triggers a compilation error.

OrganizeImportTriggersCompileError.java:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
package pkg.my;

import static pkg.other.Public.PUBLIC_CONSTANT;

public class OrganizeImportTriggersCompileError {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(PUBLIC_CONSTANT);
    }

}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

PackagePrivate.java:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
package pkg.other;

class PackagePrivate {
    public static final String PUBLIC_CONSTANT = "public constant";
}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Public.java:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
package pkg.other;

public class Public extends PackagePrivate {
}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


Runing organize import on OrganizeImportTriggersCompileError.java ends up with this code:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
package pkg.my;

import static pkg.other.PackagePrivate.PUBLIC_CONSTANT;

public class OrganizeImportTriggersCompileError {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(PUBLIC_CONSTANT);
    }

}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

which gives a compilation error because PackagePrivate is not accessible by OrganizeImportTriggersCompileError.
