Description

This fails with Groovyc: Access to java.lang.Object#message is forbidden

class Test {
    @groovy.transform.CompileStatic
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            println "foobar"
        } catch (e) {
            println e.message
        }

    }
}

This passes:

class Test {
    @groovy.transform.CompileStatic
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            println "foobar"
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            println e.message
        }

    }
}
