Description

After updating Gradle from Groovy 2.5.4 to 2.5.7 the following test started to fail:

https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/bc8d6ebd11d81be35ea7453cda6f955de236add3/subprojects/plugins/src/integTest/groovy/org/gradle/java/compile/AbstractJavaGroovyCompileAvoidanceIntegrationSpec.groovy#L330

 

The reason was that:

• implicit and explicit default constructors don't generate the same bytecode anymore (explicit implicit one is marked as @Generated now)
• static initializers generate and empty if statement
