    Description

      Private fields/methods of a superclass are not accessible in groovy, see GROOVY-3142

      But if some superclasses in the class hierarchy is extended via its metaclass, private methods become visible.

      This happens in all the latest 2.X (2.4.21), 3.X (3.0.8) and 4.X (4.0.0-alpha-3) versions.

       

      Attached is a simple groovy script that demonstrates it.
