Jason Garrett updated GROOVY-11019:
-----------------------------------
Description:
I haven't managed to reproduce this in a simple example, but as I'm upgrading
my application from groovy 3 to 4 I have run into this situation. I have a
class that defines a public static final string like this:
{code:java}
class PublicStaticString {
public static final String NONE = "None"
}
{code}
Its java stub fails to compile with:
{noformat}
error: no suitable constructor found for String(Object)
public static final java.lang.String NONE = new
java.lang.String((java.lang.Object)null);{noformat}
I can remove the "public" from the declaration and the class/stub will compile,
but now any java class that references that field will fail to compile with:
{noformat}
error: NONE has private access in PublicStaticString
selectNoneButton.setText(PublicStaticString.NONE);{noformat}
The only way I know to fix this is to convert the java class to groovy.
