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

             Summary: Compiler does not give error for ambiguous type or member due to multiple star imports
                 Key: GROOVY-8081
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8081
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compiler
            Reporter: Eric Milles


If two or more star imports bring in the same name, the compiler is choosing the first match.  Java handles the same situation by emitting an error for an ambiguous reference.

Examples:
{code}
import javax.swing.*
import javax.xml.ws.*
class C { Action a }
{code}

{code}
interface A
{
    String VALUE = 'from A'
}
interface B
{
    String VALUE = 'from B'
}

import static com.trgr.cobalt.search.A.*
import static com.trgr.cobalt.search.B.*

println VALUE
{code}

Also, no mention of the policy can be found here or in related subsections.
