ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Compilation fails with "error: cannot find symbol" if you have the following structure:
package1/Intf.java - an interface
package2/User.java - a class that:
1. has an inner enum X that implements Intf
2. uses the enum values X by declaring "import static X.*"

If X is a class, compilation will succeed. If Intf is placed in package2 (with the user class), compilation will succeed. If the import static is omitted and the enum X is fully specified, compilation will succeed. If the enum is made a top-level class, compilation will succeed.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See source. Running compile with:
"javac compiler_issue_intf/*.java compiler_issue_user/*.java"

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
compilation to succeed
ACTUAL -
compilation fails with "error: cannot find symbol"

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
compiler_issue_user/User.java:13: error: cannot find symbol
    enum MyEnym implements Intf {
                           ^
  symbol: class Intf
  location: class User
1 error


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
Create folder structure:
mkdir compiler_issue_intf
mkdir compiler_issue_user

Place Intf.java in compiler_issue_intf:
---
package compiler_issue_intf;

public interface Intf {
    String getName();
}
---

Place User.java in compiler_issue_user:
---
package compiler_issue_user;

import static compiler_issue_user.User.MyEnym.VALUE1;

import compiler_issue_intf.Intf;

public class User {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(VALUE1.getName());
    }

    enum MyEnym implements Intf {
        VALUE1,
        VALUE2;

        public String getName() {
            return name();
        }

    }
}
---

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
If X is a class, compilation will succeed. If Intf is placed in package2 (with the user class), compilation will succeed. If the import static is omitted and the enum X is fully specified, compilation will succeed. If the enum is made a top-level class, compilation will succeed.
