static imports don't work with annotations

[prabhu-madanagopal]

In MethodSpec.Builder, I have...
builder.addAnnotation(Value.Lazy.class);

In JavaFile.Builder, I have..

 JavaFile.builder(..)
                    .addStaticImport(Value.class, "Immutable", "Default", "Lazy");

static import is added, however the annotation contains the fully qualified static name....

    @Value.Lazy
    public Optional<String> get...() {

Static imports are for static functions and JavaPoet does nothing with them when handling type references. Nested types in Java use regular imports, but JavaPoet will always prefer to import the top-level type and use a semi-qualified reference instead. There is no way to force it that I can remember.

[prabhu-madanagopal]

generated file contains the static import as below but the type reference in annotations don't reflect the static import, as you said.

import static org.immutables.value.Value.Lazy;
import static org.immutables.value.Value.Immutable;

Right but static imports are not for types, they're for methods. So that is working as expected.
