Re: inheritance bug?

Quoting Jason Thomas <[email protected]>:

try omitting the return type:

public class Test extends TestBase {
   hello() {
       println("hello nice");
   }
}

This was discussed on the mailing list in the covariant return type thread, I
believe. When you specify a return type, you are overloading the method. In
order to _override_ the method, you need to leave the return type off.
