Paul King commented on GROOVY-11548:
------------------------------------
This is kind of by design (well, an implementation detail in Groovy 4). Groovy
5 compiles default interface methods natively. Groovy 4 emulates them with
traits. So, your interface (because it has a default method) is converted to:
{code:groovy}
trait I0 {
void func() { }
}
{code}
And the semantics of traits is to override rather than be a default. Groovy 5
lets you pick between traits and default methods in interfaces so you get the
best of both worlds depending on your needs. The workaround in Groovy 4 is to
write just that one interface in Java.
