I proposed, as real Object Oriented languages (smalltalk,...) does, that "this" on static method references the Class that receive the message (method) instead of the Class that declare the method. Example: class A { public static foo() { println("foo: " + this); } } class B extends A {} class C extends B {} Calling "foo" method with subclasses: A.foo(); // class A is the "foo" message receptor B.foo(); // class B is the "foo" message receptor C.foo(); // class C is the "foo" message receptor Now returns: foo: class A foo: class A foo: class A I Propose that result must be: foo: class A foo: class B foo: class C Thank you ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jochen Theodorou (JIRA) &lt;jira-yCVjj/EcxBJg9hUCZPvPmw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; Date: Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 4:50 PM Subject: [jira] Closed: (GROOVY-4905) poly</pre> Jose Antonio Illescas del Olmo 2011-06-27T16:53:16 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.lang.groovy.jsr
