[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-9282) Account for package-private methods when overriding as protected

["Tobias Gesellchen (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9282?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tobias Gesellchen updated GROOVY-9282:
--------------------------------------
    Description: 
When overriding a method as `protected` with a super method being package-private (no modifier in Java or `@PackageScope` in Groovy), compilation fails with an error similar to this:
{code:java}
...
exampleMethod(java.lang.Object -> java.lang.Object) in com.example.Child cannot override exampleMethod in com.example.Base; attempting to assign weaker access privileges; was package-private
...
{code}
This edge case seems to be missed at GROOVY-8651.

I submitted a pull request at [https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/1038]
