Java static property weirdness

Bar.java

public class Bar extends Foo {
  public static String name = "Bar!";
}

Foo.java

public class Foo {
  protected static String name = "Foo!";
  
  public String getName() {
    // This probably keeps pointing to `Foo.name`, So `Bar.name` never gets used.
    // After copying the getter to the subclass, the problem goes away. :(
    return name;
  }
}

Test.java

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println((new Foo()).getName());
    System.out.println((new Bar()).getName());
    
    /*
     * Outputs:
     * Foo!
     * Foo!
     */
  }
}
