Getting org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException using gmaven plugin

11k views Asked by At

This is my sample program, while compiling using mvn it throws me the compilation error, i'm trying to add a Static Methods using ExpandoMetaClass -

@Singleton
        class ThrowError {
            def parse ()
            {
                println "Anish"
            }

        }
        ThrowError.metaClass.static.getMap = {m_var -> ThrowError.instance.parse(m_var) }

i'm using gmaven plugin to compile the project, while issuing mvn compile ..........

Same answer here as on the Groovy mailing list, well a bit more explained maybe... In Groovy we have scripts and classes. A class is everything with a class structure, like in Java. For example class B{} is a class structure and defines a class B. scripts are classes too, but they are not in such a strucuture. If you now have "class B{}; def b = new B()",you have a class structure for B, but also a script with the content "def b = new B()". As I said thisis a class as well, but what is the name of that class? The name is defined by the name of the file, that script is defined in (if there is no file, then a name like script1456 is chosen). Now you may create a B.groovy, with the content "class B{}; def b = new B()". There would be one class named B, and a script with the very same name. This is a conflict.

You are perfectly fine if you give the file a different name.
