Description

This setting is set for Java but as there are no such settings for Groovy I would expect it to re-use the settings for java.

In my case the settings says "99" because I want the static imports to be explicit.
For Groovy this has no effect nor is there any other option to control this effect.

Research direction

Start by locating the Eclipse settings implementation for "Number of static imports needed for .*" and comparing the Java and Groovy preference paths. Reproduce the case with the value set to 99, then determine whether Groovy should reuse the Java setting or expose its own option; done means the configured behavior is respected and covered by a regression test.
