Description

Running this in groovyconsole

public class Configuration extends java.util.Properties 
{  
    
}  
1

yields the following error:

Exception thrown: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, 
Script9: -1: the return type is incompatible with java.lang.String getProperty(java.lang.String) in 
java.util.Properties. Node: org.codehaus.groovy.ast.MethodNode. At [-1:-1]  @ line -1, column -1.

But when the getProperty() method is overridden the code runs fine:

public class Configuration extends java.util.Properties 
{  
    String getProperty(String s) {
    }
}
