>                 Key: GROOVY-7786
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7786
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: groovy-jdk
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.6
>         Environment: Windows
>            Reporter: Christian Lipp
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The following code
>     def input = '[ant, asciidoctorj, ceylon, crash, gaiden]'
>     def list = input.split(', ')
>     println list.class.canonicalName // java.lang.String[]
>     list.removeElement('crash')
> leads to an `MissingMethodException: No signature of method: [Ljava.lang.String;.removeElement() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [crash]`
> But when using
>     def input = '[ant, asciidoctorj, ceylon, crash, gaiden]'
>     List<String> list = input.split(', ')
>     println list.class.canonicalName // java.util.ArrayList
>     list.removeElement('crash')
> everything works. This is not intuitive, I would expect my first code to work (i used it within a fluent call chain). However I know that I can use the minus call.
