> I haven't managed to reproduce this in a simple example, but as I'm upgrading my application from groovy 3 to 4 I have run into this situation.  I have a class that defines a public static final string like this:
> {code:java}
> class PublicStaticString { 
>    public static final String NONE = "None" 
> }
> {code}
> Its java stub fails to compile with:
> {noformat}
> error: no suitable constructor found for String(Object)
> public static final java.lang.String NONE = new java.lang.String((java.lang.Object)null);{noformat}
>  
> I can remove the "public" from the declaration and the class/stub will compile, but now any java class that references that field will fail to compile with:
> {noformat}
> error: NONE has private access in PublicStaticString
>          selectNoneButton.setText(PublicStaticString.NONE);{noformat}
> The only way I know to fix this is to convert the java class to groovy.
