A Groovy POGO does have different behaviour to a Java POJO, namely:

#4 applies the same to both Java and Groovy classes. The map based constructor stuff is imposed at the calling end, not in the class being instantiated. – Jeff Scott Brown Sep 19 '16 at 18:43

#2 seems to suggest that if you do something like `protected someProperty` or `private someProperty` that the field will be public, which is not true. The field will be `protected` or `private` as specified. What makes it look as if it is public is Groovy allows you to access those members directly from any Groovy class, but they are still `protected` or `private`. Inspect the generated byte code to verify that. That distinction is important because `private` field defined in a Groovy class still cannot be accessed directly from Java without using `setAccessible`. – Jeff Scott Brown Sep 19 '16 at 18:45

It's just a Plain Old Groovy Object. Same basic idea. You can use them interchangeably.
