groovy-dev & groovy-user added to Gmane

Just a heads up - thanks to Marcus Ahnve both groovy-dev and 
groovy-user are now available on gmane so that folks can use their news 
reader to monitor the mailing list if folks prefer that to using email.

Hmm, its strange it doesn't give any more details of the file name that 
it couldn't compile. I wonder if typing

	maven -e grooovy:compile-tests

helps to display the actual file ti can't compile?

Basically this sounds like it can't compile a .groovy file; I'm just 
not sure which one :)

Re: Patch: "groovy.bat -classpath"

Great stuff, patch applied again. Could you double check I applied it  
correctly. If so I'll replace the other unix & windows scripts with  
these, as supplying the classpath is handy for all of them.

BTW I guess we could change the scripts to accept the current CLASSPATH  
variable as well. e.g. use $CP;$CLASSPATH (or the % equivalent for  
windows) so then if folks have already setup their CLASSPATH variable  
we should use that as well?

Aha, thanks. I had a funny feeling there was a use case somewhere I'd 
not thought of - and if anyone would spot it I thought you'd be the 
man! :)

I've added this test case for lists & strings along with the patch to 
fix it. Many thanks Rod.

Should Binding be behind an interface?

I was thinking it might be useful to be able to have a Binding
implementation which is backed by a PicoContainer.

Or am I being obtuse?

import xxx.*


Hi

Is it just me or does having
import javax.swing.*;
not compile due the * ?

On another note, I'm refactoring the SyntaxException rooted
to uniformly store error location details.

Cheers

Yep, * is not supported.
You have to import each and every class !

Static Main(..) ??

Summary :

  There is no need for a static entry point for a new language. static 
main( .. ) sucks in Java, why not hide it for Groovy ?

The front page example :

  class Foo {
    // etc
    static void main(args) {
      values = [1, 2, 3, "abc"]
      foo = new Foo()
      foo.closureExample(values)
      foo.doSomething()
    }
  }

Could just as easily be ..

  class Foo implements Mainable {
    // etc
    main(args) {
      values = [1, 2, 3, "abc"]
      closureExample(values)
      doSomething()
    }
  }

or

RE: Static Main(..) ??


Like that after all, without the "implements" ?

  class Foo {
    // etc
    main(args) {
      values = [1, 2, 3, "abc"]
      closureExample(values)
      doSomething()
    }
  }

That could certainly be possible I guess.
