Groovy variable not accessible in java class of same project in eclipse

Question

I have a maven java project in eclipse. I added a groovy file in the project having a public variable. I access the groovy variable in another java class but i get compilation error (see below). I have the GRECLIPSE plugin installed. Also via command line when I build the project using mvn it compiles successfully.

How do I resolve this?

Groovy class -

package com.impl

class UserConstants {
    public static final String USER_PREFERENCES = 
        """Some value"""
}

Java class in the same package. At the import line I get error "The import cannot be resolved" and due to that I get error at the Sysout line also "USER_PREFERENCES cannot be resolved to a variable"

package com.impl

import static com.impl.UserConstants.USER_PREFERENCES;

public class UserPreferences {
    public UserPreferences() {
        System.out.println(USER_PREFERENCES);
    }
}

Your question is not specific enough. What is the compilation error? — calebds, Jan 25 '12 at 19:15
Is there package visibility? If it's a member variable did you instantiate the class? — calebds, Jan 25 '12 at 22:45
It's impossible to help without more information, probably including the minimum code necessary to duplicate the problem. — Dave Newton, Jan 25 '12 at 23:35
