Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-10764:
--------------------------------------
It was required to stop carrying these methods over to implementing classes. I
can dig up the ticket if you need it.
> Static interface methods are not callable on implementing class
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-10764
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10764
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.5
> Reporter: Tim Yates
> Assignee: Eric Milles
> Priority: Major
>
> This is another issue that may be working as expected. I searched, but
> couldn't find anything...
> Given a Java interface:
> {code:java}
> public interface Interface {
> static void woo() {
> System.out.println("woo");
> }
> } {code}
> And a Java class which implements it
> {code:java}
> public class Concrete implements Interface {
> } {code}
> In Groovy 4.0.5, it is no longer possible to call the static method on the
> implementing class. ie:
> This groovy:
> {code:java}
> Concrete.woo() {code}
> Throws
> {code:java}
> Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static
> groovybug.Concrete.woo() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
> Possible solutions: wait(), any(), wait(long), any(groovy.lang.Closure),
> is(java.lang.Object), tap(groovy.lang.Closure)
> at app//groovybug.Main.run(Main.groovy:6) {code}
> Wheras in Groovy 3.x (and Java) it is valid.
