The default MetaClass infrastructure inside of Groovy asks for the BeanInfo to set it's getter and setter methods, so the JavaBeans infrastructure is used direcly by Groovy.

Is this a _requirement_ though? (asking, not implying it isn't)

if you want to be able to use beaninfo information and if you do not want to duplicate code that is already there, then yes. And even if we would reimplement that (and adding new bugs in the process), the spec simply does not tell what happens if multiple setters are used. Normally a property has *one* type, that means a getter is returning that and a setter has one parameter using that type. There is no second type and not an incompatible one on top of that.
