-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Account for package-private methods when overriding as 
protected
                 Key: GROOVY-9282
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9282
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta-3, 2.5.8, 2.5.7
            Reporter: Tobias Gesellchen


Overriding a method as `protected` with a super method being package-private 
(no modifier in Java or `@PackageScope` in Groovy), compilation fails with an 
error similar to this:
{code:java}
...
exampleMethod(java.lang.Object -> java.lang.Object) in com.example.Child cannot 
override exampleMethod in com.example.Base; attempting to assign weaker access 
privileges; was package-private
...
{code}

This edge case seems to be missed at GROOVY-8651.

I submitted a pull request at https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/1038
