StackOverflowError when placing a "static" keyword

[mauromol]

Consider this class:

package test64

import groovy.transform.CompileDynamic
import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

@CompileStatic
class Test64 {

	@CompileDynamic
	static enum ShippingAddressSynchType {
		ACCOUNTING {
			@Override
			void synch(Test64 customer) {
				truncate('foo', 2)
			}
		};

		void synch(Test64 customer) { }

		private String truncate(String input, int maxLength) {
			if(!input)
				return input
			if(input.length() > maxLength)
				input = input[0..maxLength - 1]
			return input
		}
	}
}

Now change the truncate(...) declaration by adding the static keyword and hit Ctrl+S:

private static String truncate(String input, int maxLength) {

BOOM!
You have to close the IDE, possibly kill it.

See also what happens with Groovy without the static keyword:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9523
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9524

Adding static seems to work fine with Groovy itself, but because of this Greclipse issue it crashes my IDE.

Quick observation, you can write truncate like this. Not important, just a suggestion.

private static String truncate(String input, int maxLength) {
  if (input && input.length() > maxLength)
    input = input[0..<maxLength]
  return input
}

Works with 3.8.0.v202004242058-e1912, thank you!
