Eric Milles closed GROOVY-8323.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> @XmlSeeAlso annotation using Java syntax leads to groovy compiler error
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8323
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compiler
> Affects Versions: 2.4.12
> Reporter: Matthias Albert
> Priority: Major
>
> According to Oracle Java documentation, it should be possible to use JAXB
> with the @XmlSeeAlso annotaion as follows:
> {code}
> import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSeeAlso
> @XmlSeeAlso({Dog.class,Cat.class})
> class Animal {}
> class Dog extends Animal {}
> class Cat extends Animal {}
> {code}
> Running a groovy script containing the above code, results in a compiler
> error message:
> {noformat}
> org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup
> failed:
> <subdir>\myscript.groovy: 3: expecting '}', found ',' @ line 3, column 23.
> @XmlSeeAlso({Dog.class,Cat.class})
> {noformat}
> Apparently, the class arguments are expected to be enclosed in square
> brackets [...].
> My main question is:
> It is possible, that this valid java code cannot be compiled by the groovy
> compiler?
> My background is:
> I am writing a groovy script that uses java files generated by the xjc
> compiler from an XML schema file. They cannot be modified manually. I would
> like to compile these files by the groovy compiler using a
> CompilerConfiguration and adding 'java' to the scriptExtensions.
> Thanks in advance.
