QueryDSL / APT和静态导入生成的类

Question

Apparently I can't use classes generated with APT in unit tests that use static imports. (Maven sample project can be downloaded here )

If the following sample class

import com.mysema.query.jpa.impl.JPAQuery;

public class UserStore {

    public void something() {
        new JPAQuery(null).from(QUser.user).list(QUser.user.login);
    }

}

is changed to

import static something.QUser.user;
import com.mysema.query.jpa.impl.JPAQuery;

public class UserStore {

    public void something() {
        new JPAQuery(null).from(user).list(user.login);
    }

}

the build process (mvn clean install) will fail:

[INFO] BUILD FAILURE

( full error message )

Does this mean that I cannot use these generated classes with static import in unit tests or is there a problem in the pom.xml files?

This might be related https://github.com/mysema/querydsl/issues/158

I have not yet had the time to investigate this.

Edit

This has apparently been fixed now in Java 7

Answer 2

I assume the problem is located in the static import, cause the error messages says the imported QUser.user is neither a class nor an interface. This looks like the user is just an attribute of the Class QUser which would explain the error message.

/home/xxx/apt-bug/src/main/java/something/UserStore.java:3: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class QUser
location: package something
import static something.QUser.user;
                       ^
/home/xxx/apt-bug/src/main/java/something/UserStore.java:3: static import only from classes and interfaces
import static something.QUser.user;
^
