>Description:
This java code:

import java.util.*;

public class Test {
    static java.util.Calendar cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
}

produces:

Test.java: In class `Test':
Test.java: In method `<clinit>()':
Test.java:4: Can't search method `getInstance' in package `java.util.Calendar'.
    static  java.util.Calendar cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
                                     ^
1 error


If you change this to:

import java.util.*;

public class Test {
    static java.util.Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
}

it works.

State-Changed-Why:
    This is a variant on gcj/80. The source parser is
    known to have problems with package name qualification of
    static fields and methods in expressions. I'm closing this
    PR and updating gcj/80 to reflect your example.
