Build Identifier: 

I downloaded the lastest xtext 2.2.x, found it support support static methods now. So I can define a class like:

    class A {
        def static hello() {}
    }

But I can't invoke this static method from another class! It reports:

    Couldn't resolve reference to JvmIdentifiableElement 'hello'. 
    Couldn't resolve reference to JvmIdentifiableElement 'A'.

And it can't invoke a static method in a Java class.

Reproducible: Always

How did you try to invoke that method?
Comment 2 Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2011-11-24 02:36:31 EST 
Btw: the expected invocation syntax would be 

A::hello

class Bar {
	def static hello() {}
}

invoked by 

---
class Foo {	
	def foo() {
		Bar::hello()
	}
}
---


works for me.
