Linux, Groovy 1.6.5 1.6.8 1.7.1
Description
There are some inconstancies in how Groovy works on the Sun and IBM jdk in regards to accessing properties on the collection object versus the properties of the contents of a collection.
Consider the following groovy script
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("hello");
list.add("world");
print list.size
On the Sun jdk this will output '2' as the result for list.size, on the IBM jdk it will fail with the following error
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Exception evaluating property 'size' for java.util.ArrayList, Reason: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: size for class: java.lang.String
at ConsoleScript8.run(ConsoleScript8:4)
Changing the value to list.size() does make it work on both JDKs
