[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-11633) final fields no longer produce final getters

["Eric Milles (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11633?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17946257#comment-17946257 ] 

Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-11633:
--------------------------------------

Why does the getter need to be final?  This does not correlate with a field that is not modifiable.

> In Groovy 3 and versions of Groovy 4 at or before 4.0.23, a `final` field would also produce a `final` getter. Due to changes made in https://github.com/apache/groovy/commit/88c6336021f71d702da5292aeaac9e9859aeab1a (discovered via `git bisect`), 4.0.24 and onwards now produce a non-`final` getter, which allows overriding of the method. A reproducer which should fail to compile if the issue is fixed is attached.
> This has a minor affect on Gradle's upgrade to Groovy 4, where some properties won't properly attach to their owning object and produce worse error messages.
