Indicating that a method or property is static is ignored by CodeGenerator.

When setting properties on my class like so:

        $gen->setName($className)
            ->setDocblock($docblock)
            ->setProperties(array(
                array(
                    'name'          => 'columns',
                    'visibility'    => 'public',
                    'static'        => true,
                    'defaltValue'   => ''
                )
            ))

The generated output does not indicate that the property is static. In fact, as shown below, the isStatic() method is never even checked except to setStatic during reflection. See below:
