Jochen Theodorou commented on GROOVY-8385:
------------------------------------------
I think version 1 should be the path to go
> CompileStatic: Improved method call/property access Java compatibility for
> Minecraft Forge obfuscation support
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8385
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8385
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: bytecode
> Reporter: mgroovy
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Forge, Java, JavaCompatibility, Minecraft, Modding
>
> * Even with @CompileStatic the Groovy compiler creates bytecode for method
> calls / property access which is dynamic in nature.
> * This means that e.g. Minecraft Forge's obfuscator does not pick up the
> calls in the generated bytecode, which means they do not get obfuscated,
> which in turn makes the code fail when executed in Minecraft.
> * This effectively makes it nearly impossible to write Minecraft mods with
> Groovy, which in turn is a wasted opportunity to get people involved with
> Groovy early on.
> * Possible approaches to improve the situation:
> ## Improve on a fundamental level: According to [~paulk] only a few calls are
> required to be done dynamically for Groovy functionality to work as expected
> under @CompileStatic.
> *** The problem seems to be that it could be hard to be a 100% sure no edge
> case is overlooked, as to not break @CompileStatic in situations where e.g.
> no 100% Java-call-compatibility is needed.
> ## Improve through newly introduced @CompileStatic parameters
> *** => Static method call / property access bytecode is generated for method
> code / all class methods repectively (with possible exceptions for the know
> cases mentioned above).
> ## Improve through newly introduced @ObfuscationJavaCompatibility annotation
> that can be put on a method or class
> *** behavior same as for @CompileStatic parameters above
