As you can see, there are still illegal access warnings in the build result
because of the following reasons I've found:
① The code truely accesses members illegally(account for the vast majority of
the warnings in the build result), e.g.
https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/master/src/test/groovy/PrimitiveTypesTest.groovy#L88
{code:java}
// groovy code
BigInteger big = new BigInteger(Long.MAX_VALUE) // the constructor is private
{code}
*Solution:* we have to fix them by change our code to avoid illegal access
② Sub-class derives the public members from package-private class, but invoke
the members on the sub class instances, e.g.
https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/master/subprojects/groovy-groovysh/src/main/groovy/org/codehaus/groovy/tools/shell/Groovysh.groovy#L532
{code:java}
// groovy code
// the declaring class of method `setLength` is `AbstractStringBuilder`(i.e.
the base class of `StringBuilder`)
// but `AbstractStringBuilder` is package-private
buff.setLength(0) // buff is a `StringBuilder` instance
{code}
*Solution:* Groovy should be smarter to be able to choose the derived method,
e.g. {{StringBuilder::setLength}}
As for ②, I wish [~blackdrag] could give us some hints to make progress faster
;)
