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

             Summary: joint compilation:  public static final string does not compile
                 Key: GROOVY-11019
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11019
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Stub generator / Joint compiler
    Affects Versions: 4.0.11
         Environment: OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.16.1+1 (build 11.0.16.1+1)
            Reporter: Jason Garrett


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}
