Compiler throws an error trying to compile the declaration line of a scala subclass of a java super class.

Java Class

public class DynamicStringProperty extends PropertyWrapper<String> {

    DynamicStringProperty(String propName, String defaultValue) {
        super(propName, defaultValue);
    }

    /**
     * Get the current value from the underlying DynamicProperty
     */
    public String get() {
        return prop.getString(defaultValue);
    }

    @Override
    public String getValue() {
        return get();
    }
}

Scala Class:

class DynamicStringProperty(property: String, defaultVal: String)
  extends com.netflix.config.DynamicStringProperty(property, defaultVal) {

  def apply(): Option[String] = Option(get())
}

Please provide a self-contained example, otherwise we can't even look at this. The provided Java class depends on DynamicProperty which in turn depends on a load of other stuff.

fully contained code can be found here: gorzell/archaius@3fd6ae3 I will try to come up with a more limited example, but since I don't know what is causing the failure it could be tough.

Greg Orzell (gorzell) said:
I believe that the root cause here was that i was trying to extend a class with a package protected constructor from outside the package, but the compiler just choking doesn't make that very clear.

I've hit this without involvement of a Java class -- just scala code:

object Test {
  sealed class Result private(val id: Short, val isFinal: Boolean)
  case class Ok() extends Result(1, true)
}

(I intended "private[Test]" -- easy to get it wrong)

@jsalvata said:
I've removed the "java-interop" tag, since my example doesn't (seem to) involve any Java interoperability.

I've changed the summary to what I believe are the common aspects of both reported cases.

In 2.10 your example fails correctly. I expect the other one does as well.

<console>:9: error: constructor Result in class Result cannot be accessed in class Ok
         case class Ok() extends Result(1, true)
