You should first make a minimal example that reproduces this. I've just failed to do so with the following:
abstract class AbstractParent { public void x() { System.out.println("x"); } } public class ConcreteChild extends AbstractParent { } user> (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) true user> (.x (test.ConcreteChild.)) nil user> (.x ^test.AbstractParent (test.ConcreteChild.)) nil user> (def cc (test.ConcreteChild.)) #'user/cc user> (.x cc) Reflection warning, NO_SOURCE_PATH:1:1 - reference to field x can't be resolved. nil user> What must I add to break it?
