Jochen Theodorou commented on GROOVY-8286:
------------------------------------------
this is standard for the past years yes. I am considering changing this because
of JDK9 though
> Groovy does not respect package-private modifier of Java class

> Key: GROOVY-8286
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8286
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.8
> Reporter: Angela Vibar Guardian
>
> Hi. I'm using Java (1.8) with Groovy (2.4.8) via GMavenPlus (although with
> the project I'm working on, we actually also programmatically compile Groovy
> code and add it to the class loader to mix them up). It seems however, in
> Groovy scripts/classes, package-private methods defined in a Java class can
> be called.
> For example, I have a Java class {{Person}} in package
> {{org.example.people}}, defined like so:
> {code:java}
> package org.example.people;
> public class Person {
> private String name;
> void setName(String name) {
> this.name = name;
> }
> public String getName() {
> return this.name;
> }
> }
> {code}
> And I have a Groovy class {{Main}} in package {{org.example}}:
> {code:java}
> package org.example
> import groovy.transform.CompileStatic
> import org.example.people.Person
> class Main {
> static void main(String[] args) {
> Person person = new Person()
> person.setName('Bob') // Shouldn't be call-able since they belong to
> different packages.
> println person.getName() // Prints 'Bob' to the console.
> }
> }
> {code}
> Is this standard? Using {{\@CompileStatic}}, though, throws an
> {{IllegalAccessException}}.
