Dear community,
The Groovy team is pleased to announce the release of Groovy
1.1-beta-2, yet another step on our aggressive roadmap towards the
release of Groovy 1.1 in October.
For this release, I would like especially to highlight two key
contributions to the project:
* First of all, after we've added Java 5 annotation support in
Groovy 1.1-beta-1, this time, it was generics' turn. Thanks to the
help of some JBoss developers who've integrated Groovy in JBoss Seam,
we've been able to test our support for annotations and generics, and
to make sure we would release a quality milestone to our users. Groovy
is the first alternative dynamic language for the JVM that supports
annotations and generics, so that you can integrate Groovy with any
Enterprise application frameworks like EJB 3 / JPA, JBoss Seam, Google
Guice, Spring, etc.
* Secondly, I'm very happy to report the contribution of JetBrains
to the development of Groovy. While working on the IntelliJ IDEA
plugin for Groovy and Grails, the talentuous JetBrains team provided
us with a joint Java/Groovy compiler! No more nightmare to cleanly
separate Java and Groovy code to avoid cyclic references and tedious
build configuration, you can now use the Groovyc compiler to compile
both Groovy and Java sources in a single step.
Apart from those two great contributions that we have integrated in
the project, we've worked on many other areas since the release of the
first beta:
