Marcus Olk commented on GROOVY-3010: ------------------------------------ I don't know whether it makes any sense to add another vote, but I just ran into the following issue: {code} public class JavaClass { public static final A B = new B(); public static abstract class A { } private static class B extends A { private B() {} } } {code} The public field {{JavaClass.B}} is simply not accessible for Groovy code: {{JavaClass.B}} gives you the private inner class B extending A. Sure, this is bad design having a field with the same name as an inner class, but it just happend to me, that I had to create a Java class as a proxy for my Groovy code because a Java library used this (anti-) pattern. Sorry, but that simply sucks, doesn't it? > fix private field visibility > ---------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-3010 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-3010 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Task > Components: groovy-runtime > Reporter: Jochen Theodorou > Fix For: 3.0 > > Attachments: privateInJsUseWrapMethodExample.js > > > this task collects all the issues related to a privae field being visible, > when it should not be visible -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
