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

             Summary: Cannot set protected field from subclass
                 Key: GROOVY-9127
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9127
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.5.6
            Reporter: paolo di tommaso


Consider the following code 

{code}
@CompileStatic
abstract class Foo {

    protected String field1

    String getField1() {
        field1
    }
}

@CompileStatic
class Bar extends Foo {

    void changeField1()  {
        this.field1 = 'foo'
    }

    @Override
    String getField1() { return 'bar command' }
}
{code}

It fails to compile with the following error message: 

{code}
[Static type checking] - Cannot set read-only property: field1
 @ line 29, column 9.
           this.field1 = 'foo'
           ^
{code}

Which does not make much sense to me because protected field should be accessible to subclasses by definition. Tested also with 2.5.8-SNAPSHOT reporting the same issue.
