>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-3539
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Compiler
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.3
>            Reporter: Andrew Eisenberg
>            Priority: Minor
>
> This program causes the compiler to throw a syntax error.  However it should be a semantic error.
> {code}
> public class B {
>    public void Test() {
>       new NotExist()   
>    }
> }
> {code}
> We could review usage of {{SyntaxErrorMessage}} and throw a different error instead where appropriate.
> They are converted into compilation exceptions later so not really visible to users of the language but relevant for IDEs.
