project

With the following code:
C.java------
package b;

public enum C {
    d,
    e
}
------------
B.java------
package b;

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target(ElementType.FIELD)
public @interface B {
    C value();
}
------------
A.java------
package a;

import static a.A.Inner.ONE;

import b.B;
import b.C;

public final class A {
    public static class Inner {
        @B(C.d) public static final int ONE = 1;
    }

    public static int foo() {
        return ONE;
    }
}
------------

There is a warning ("The import x is never used") on the imports for b.B and b.C.
These warnings are incorrect since if those imports are removed the compilation fails since both B and C are used in the inner class (A.Inner).
Note that replacing "import static a.A.Inner.ONE" with "import static a.A.Inner.*" makes the warnings go away.

A zipped project containing the same files is attached.

I initially thought that this might be the same as bug 414423, however I could not reproduce bug 414423.
