Compiler does not respect Build Path Access Rules

[felixdo]

I noticed that for groovy code, the build path access rules are not checked. This is important when writing eclipse plugins in groovy. I can thus write groovy code for an eclipse plugin which compiles fine but gets ClassNotFound exceptions at runtime.

This is checked within the JDT's java model. Any part of the compilation unit that is represented in the Java model will have this checking.

import a.b.Restricted
@Restricted
class C extends Restricted implemented Restricted {
  Restricted property
  private Restricted field
  Restricted method(Restricted param) {
    return Restricted
  }
}

This example will show an error for all occurrences of Restricted except the one in the method body. Is this good enough?
