If you try to use statically imported fields in annotation array value, it will looks like 'cannot be resolved to a variable' compile error. Actually code compiles and runs fine. It was working about month ago (can not tell exactly version, about mid of November), but right now it is broken.

I am using Groovy-Eclispe: 2.9.2.xx-201612141446-e46

There is simple example:
TestStrings.groovy

package test

interface TestStrings {
    public static final String ONE = 'one'
    public static final String TWO = 'two'
    public static final String THREE = 'three'
}

TestAnnotation.groovy

package test

@interface TestAnnotation {
    String[] value()
}

Test.groovy

package test

import static test.TestStrings.*

class Test {

    @TestAnnotation(value = [ONE, TWO])
    static main(args) {
        println 'hello groovy'
    }

}

Test.groovy will have two compile errors: 'ONE cannot be resolved to a variable' and the same for TWO. If you replace 'String[] value' to just 'String value', then using '@TestAnnotation(value = ONE)' will not cause this error. If you replace ONE/TWO by TestString.ONE/TWO, this will go away also.
