> While working on Gradle, I bumped into a failure with the Groovy compiler that works fine in Java.
> Example code that fails with both Groovy compiler 2.3.10 and 2.4.3:
> {code:title=Groovy}
> interface Item {}
> interface DerivedItem extends Item {}
> interface Base {
>   Item getItem()
> }
> class BaseImpl implements Base {
>   Item getItem() { null }
> }
> interface First extends Base {
>   DerivedItem getItem()
> }
> class FirstImpl extends BaseImpl implements First {
>   DerivedItem getItem() { null }
> }
> interface Second extends First {}
> class SecondImpl extends FirstImpl implements Second {}
> {code}
> The error message is:
> {code}
> Script1.groovy: 8: The return type of Item getItem() in BaseImpl is incompatible with DerivedItem in First. At [8:3]  @ line 8, column 3.
>      Item getItem() { null }
>      ^
> {code}
> However, changing the implementation of {{SecondImpl}} like this fixes the compile error:
> {code:title=Fixed Groovy}
> class SecondImpl extends FirstImpl implements Second {
>   DerivedItem getItem() { super.item }
> }
> {code}
> The equivalent code compiles fine in Java:
> {code:title=Java}
> public class CompileJava {
>     interface Item {}
>     interface DerivedItem extends Item {}
>     
>     interface Base {
>       Item getItem();
>     }
>     class BaseImpl implements Base {
>       public Item getItem() { return null; }
>     }
>     
>     interface First extends Base {
>       DerivedItem getItem();
>     }
>     
>     class FirstImpl extends BaseImpl implements First {
>       public DerivedItem getItem() { return null; }
>     }
>     
>     interface Second extends First {}
>     class SecondImpl extends FirstImpl implements Second {}
> }
> {code}
