Groovy Conversion - From Java

Question

I have the following small part of a java class:

public class GBitMaskTest {

    @Test
    public void checkFirstBitTest() {
        BitMask bm = new BitMask(0x8000000000000000L);
        assertEquals(true, bm.isBitSet(63));
    }

...
}

which should be compilable in Groovy as well cause it's valid Java code. But i get the following:

Groovy Bug --- exception in phase 'conversion' in source unit '/home/g-ut-example/src/test/groovy/com/soebes/training/maven/simple/GBitMaskTest.groovy' For input string: "8000000000000000"
BUG! exception in phase 'conversion' in source unit '/home/g-ut-example/src/test/groovy/com/soebes/training/maven/simple/GBitMaskTest.groovy' For input string: "8000000000000000"

May be i misunderstand a thing. Someone an idea?

This has happened with Groovy 2.0 in relationship with Maven. It's this example https://github.com/khmarbaise/maui/tree/master/src/main/resources/g-ut-example which produces this problem. I'm compiling with the following part:

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

The rest of the error message (EXception):

I'm surprised this compiles in Java, since 0x8000000000000000L is larger than Long.MAX_VALUE. It looks like Java treats it as an unsigned value. I'd recommend using -0x8000000000000000L instead, since it's the same bit value, but falls within the legal range for longs and works in both Java and groovy.

Edit: According to the Java Language Specification §3.10.1, decimal literals above Long.MAX_VALUE are illegal but hexidecimal literals aren't, so long as they fit in 64 bits. So this appears to be valid Java.
