Re: [groovy-dev] string to int/long/etc... conversion

Why does that method have to be in Groovy core?  Your arbitrary rules aren't likely to line up with 
other people's arbitrary rules, so I'd stick to keeping that in a library.

[groovy-dev] Apologies . . .

. . . for the rather stupid attempt to reopen GROOVY-3777 and hence the
noise in JIRA.  GROOVY-3777 is well and truly fixed as claimed.  Thanks
to Jochen for fixing it and well done sir.  Apologies for casting
aspersions.

now that you mention it, I did not even read your comment... from the 
start I concentrated only on the missing line number issue, which 
deserve in my eyes a critical too, because it can be really bad seeing a 
error message, that points to the wrong location.

Besides that.... remember always the convention of putting the operator 
on the same line as the first operand ;)

:-)

Indeed.  I think the single most important thing about an error message
is giving the right information about where.  Almost everything else can
usually be deduced by observation!

It all stems from Bob Swift's GANT-84, so I can pass the buck :-)

Is there an RC out so I can compile Gant against it just to check there
are no problems?  Gant 1.8.0 is ready to release just as soon as the new
Groovy hits the Maven repositories, and I am hoping this will be the
version in the Windows installer.

No RC.
So you'll have to build a snapshot from the 1.6 branch.

Can I suggest that 1.6.5-SNAPSHOT is pushed to the Codehaus snapshot
repository to act as an RC -- or may be it already is?

I am  publishing a SNAPSHOT atm. If the normal binary is good enough for 
you you can also use 
http://dist.groovy.codehaus.org/distributions/groovy-binary-1.6.5-SNAPSHOT.zip

Excellent.  Thanks.  Worked a treat.

Now I just have to find out why I have 4 test fails I don't get with
1.6.4, 1.5.8 or any of the 1.7 series.  It may be a Gant test problem
not a Groovy problem.

I'll explore tomorrow.
