Hi all,

This is with great pleasure that the development team announces the release candidate of Groovy 2.0.

For the impatient among you, you can download Groovy 2.0 RC-1 in the download area of the Groovy website. And read the JIRA changelog.

The big change in this release candidate is the modularity aspect. We've now fully switched to Gradle, as our build tool, to build a more modular Groovy. You still have a big "all" JAR, but if you're interested in just picking the core JAR and the needed modules for your project, you can now do so.

The following modules, also available as Maven artifacts, have been created and extracted: ant, bsf, console, docgenerator, groovydoc, groovysh, jms, json, jsr-223, servlet, sql, swing, templates, test, testng, xml.

Also, it's possible for you to create your own extension modules, which will provide additional methods to JDK or third-party classes, just like Groovy does with the Groovy Development Kit.

For more information on this extension module system, please have a look at this page explaining the details.

We're looking forward to your feedback on this release!

This is very important that you test this release within your projects to report anything, any bug or issue that you may encounter, so that we can make a great 2.0 release.

We're particularly interested in feedback on the invoke dynamic support, the static type checking, the static compilation, as well as the new modularity of Groovy.

Thanks a lot for your attention and precious time helping us releasing a great new milestone of the project!

And big thanks to all those who contributed to this release!

On behalf of the Groovy development team, we hope you'll all keep on groovy'ing

We've noticed a couple issues with this RC, so we'll probably need another RC rapidly.

Hi Luciano,

Thanks for Groovy Team, waiting for 2.0 stable, for new project, new production.

We usually wait a week or two between an RC and the final version, so it might still be at least two weeks away.

In any case, it should be there before the end of June anyway.

So not a too too long wait now, at last

Correct, the error only occurs if I replace the lib/groovy-2.0.0-* with the one from the indy folder i.e.

$ cp indy/groovy-2.0.0-beta-3-indy.jar lib/groovy-2.0.0-beta-3.jar

(adjusted for Windows XP of course).

When testing, make sure you don't have a renamed version of the original JAR still in the lib folder, otherwise the problem is masked.  When retesting this issue, I made that mistake.

The problem is to have somebody with windows confirming the problem...

without indy you don't get the error?
