Description

If you set a package scoped property from another package, this compiles but at runtime you get errors like:

tried to access method org.codehaus.groovy.grails.core.io.PluginPathAwareFileSystemResourceLoader.setSearchLocations(Ljava/util/Collection;)V from class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.project.loader.GrailsProjectLoader
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method org.codehaus.groovy.grails.core.io.PluginPathAwareFileSystemResourceLoader.setSearchLocations(Ljava/util/Collection;)V from class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.project.loader.GrailsProjectLoader

This should not happen and be a compilation error
