[groovy-dev] Gant, Groovy, Windows

"Gant Needs You" -- especially if you are a Gant on Windows user.

A new JIRA issue https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GANT-126 (*) has
reignited an lingering old problem, cf.
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GANT-54.  I have no Windows capability
and I am not willing to make changes that I can't test, so I am not
prepared to make any Windows-specific changes.  I therefore need someone
willing and able to test and verify changes made to the Windows specific
bits of Gant, in this case the batch files.

Another aspect to this is that the Gant Windows batch files are supposed
to be completely in tune with the Groovy Windows batch files.  It may be
that this problem has been solved in Groovy but not in Gant -- I'm
afraid I would not have noticed as I don't use, or indeed have, Windows.

In any event Gant and I need some help.

Thanks.

(*) and thanks to Nagai Masato for posting a putative patch as well as
creating a JIRA issue.

frankly I have no idea, why this patch should solve the problem. It 
introduces a new GANT_OPT, but all the usage of quotes looks the same. 
And normally the right usage of those quotes is what makes it so 
difficult and error prone.

Did I mention I hate Windows batch files?

[groovy-dev] Groovy, ANTLR, and Gradle

I think moving Groovy from ANTRLv2 to ANTLRv3 is a good thing -- even
though ANTLRv4 is apparently just around the corner.  But there is an
issue . . . 

I have just had to convert a project from ANTLRv3 to ANTLRv2 because
there is no Gradle plugin for ANTLRv3 whereas there is one for ANTLRv2,
and I don't have the time just now to investigate writing one myself.  I
could however contribute to an effort to create such a thing -- which I
suggest would be a great boon to both Groovy and Gradle.

Are there people out there who could club together so as to create
enough resource to move such an enterprise forward?  Is there someone
with enough knowledge of Gradle and the ANTLRv2 plugin who could get
such and enterprise kick started?

Given current trends, I am assuming a Git/GitHub repository would be the
best focus for such an enterprise.

Thanks.

[groovy-dev] Emacs Groovy Mode

The out of date, indeed deprecated, page
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Emacs+Plugin is continuing the cause people
hassle as it is the page people get to from Google searches -- the real
page is much younger and so gets a lower score in Google's algorithm.
So unless there is an objection I intend to rename it.

I have strengthened the preamble, and otherwise left it as is.

I have changed the name, and indeed content, of the main page to try and
make it more appealing to search engines as the result for a "Groovy
Emacs" or "Emacs Groovy" search.  Sorry to anyone with links to
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Emacs+Mode which is now
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Emacs+Groovy+Mode, I felt the pain of having
the page missing from search for a day or two worth it to combat the
pain of people continually seeing the old page at the top of the Google
output.

[groovy-dev] Problem accessing int default value from within a closure

Hey all,

In Groovy 1.8.0, this works fine:

groovy:000> int x; println x
0
===> null

Whereas this blows up:

groovy:000> int x; 1.times { println x }
ERROR org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException:
Cannot cast object 'null' with class 'null' to class 'int'. Try
'java.lang.Integer' instead
        at groovysh_evaluate.run (groovysh_evaluate:2)
        ...

Is that a known issue?

Cheers,
Merlyn
