Maven - Can't Resolve Java Class in Groovy
Error Importing Java Class
I just came across this error using Maven and Spock (using the mavenplus-plugin to compile groovy code).
[INFO] --- gmavenplus-plugin:1.5:testCompile (default) @ my-project ---
[INFO] Using Groovy 2.4.6 to perform testCompile.

Java File in Groovy Folder
The Java class being imported into a groovy class (a Spock test) was located in
the test/groovy folder instead of the test/java folder meaning it
wasn’t being compiled by Maven in the right order.
An easy fix: move the Java class file to the test/java folder!
