> Compiler report finalize() override declaration as error
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-5992
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-5992
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compiler
> Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 2.0.4, 2.4.5
> Environment: Eclipse 3.6 SR2, Mac OS X 10.6.8, Mac Java version
> "1.6.0_31" (Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-10M3635),
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-415, mixed mode)
> The error also occurs under Windows 7 with Oracle Java 1.6
> Reporter: Paul Bennett
> Attachments: FinalizeProblem.zip, screenshot-1.jpg
>
>
> Under indeterminate conditions, but often on:
> * Eclipse start-up
> * code edit
> * class creation,
> with auto-build enabled, the compiler reports that an override of the
> protected method _finalize()_ on Object declared:
> {code}
> /* (non-Javadoc)
> * @see java.lang.Object#finalize()
> */
> @Override
> protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
> // Some behavior...
> super.finalize();
> }
> {code}
> is incorrectly declared, and should be declared public to match that declared
> on Object. That declaration (on Object) is declared as *protected*, not
> *public* (as implied by the error message), showing that the compiler is
> incorrect, not the code. Also, the error is reported on an unrelated script
> file in the project, not the location where it was found.
> I have tried to reproduce in a small project, to no success. The zip of this
> is attached, and reproduces the inheritance and implementation hierarchy of
> the original.
> The error can be resolved my commenting out the overriding definition,
> cleaning and rebuilding. The error then goes away, and restoring the
> overriding definition (by e.g. restoring from a VC system) does *NOT* make
> the error re-appear.
