Description

Java:
public class A

{ String greeting = "Hello" }

Groovy
class B extends A { doGreet =

{ println greeting }

}
new B().doGreet().call()

Both A and B are in the same package.
Code in the closure will throw a MissingPropertyException, as greeting is not accessible but it should be.
Changing this to either protected or public is a workaround.

Attached test cases perform various visibilty tests.
