Description

tried to migrate Grails to use the nested javac task from the
current ubercompile task (because the uber one generates stubs every
time and its slow) but I get this error:

BUILD FAILED
java.lang.Error: Super-class
(org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.AbstractInjectableGrailsClass)should
have been resolved already for type:
org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.web.filters.DefaultGrailsFiltersClass

class DefaultGrailsFiltersClass  extends AbstractInjectableGrailsClass
implements GrailsFiltersClass  {
..
}

The actually hierarchy is

GrailsClass (interface) > AbstractGrailsClass >
AbstractInjectableGrailsClass > DefaultGrailsFiltersClass

All are Java except DefaultGrailsFiltersClass which is a Groovy class.

They're both there in the src paths. It worked before with the
<ubercompiler> task, but switching to a nested <javac> produces this
error.

To reproduce apply this patch to GRAILS_HOME/ant/build/compile.xml and
run "ant clean jar" from the root of GRAILS_HOME:
