Release candidate 2 is available!

Dear all,

The Groovy development team and G2One, the Groovy & Grails company, are happy to announce the new milestone of Groovy: the second release candidate is here. Just a few weeks after the first release candidate, this new version focused mainly on bug fixing, ironing out the Swing console with a nice new icon toolbar and the interactive shell, and the XML handling. You can have a closer look at the JIRA issues for more detailed information and you can download Groovy 1.1-rc-2 from the usual place.

Apart from these bugs and little improvements, we kept on increasing the performance of Groovy. As an informal benckmark, we measured the time taken by our test suites to run, and for instance, according to the Grails team, the Grails test suites executed about 40% faster with Groovy 1.1-rc-2 than with Groovy 1.1-rc-1, of course, depending on your project, your mileage may vary.

Please help us making sure Groovy 1.1 is rock-solid by having a run with this new release candidate in your projects, so that we can iron out the latest little problems that may arise. Thanks in advance for your help. Stay tuned for the final Groovy 1.1 release in a couple of weeks!

I notice that while RC1 included these two directories:

.../html (33 MB)
.../pdf (4 MB)

they are missing from the RC2 release.

Oops. I jumped a wrong conclusion. I neglected to add in the 
contributions of "groovy-docs-1.1-rc-2.zip".

Sorry 'bout that.

[groovy-user] 1.1-rc-2: generic experiments

Since the Jira issue GROOVY-1865 says that "minimal generics support" should work now, I tried to compile the following within
the groovy shell:

package com.icw.cdm.clx;

import java.util.List;

public interface ClassExtension<T> {

List executeScriptsOn(T entity);
}

unfortunately the following comes up:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, Script0: 5: Unexpected node type: TYPE_PARAMETERS found when expecting type: OBJBLOCK at line: 5 column: 32. File: Script0 <at> line 5, column 32.
1 error

If I compile the interface with eclipse and write a class in groovy that implements the interface

public class RSAVExtensions implements ClassExtension<ProgramAssignment> {

public List executeScriptsOn(ProgramAssignment entity) {
}
}

I get the following:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed, script1194035615515.groovy: 20: Can't have an abstract method in a non-abstract class. The class 'com.icw.cdm.dmp.RSAVExtensions' must be declared abstract or the method 'java.util.List executeScriptsOn(java.lang.Object)' must be implemented.
<at> line 20, column 8.
1 error

What is special about my "minimal" generic interface ?

Regards,
Dirk

Perhaps you've indeed gone beyond the "minimal" aspect 
Could you please file an issue in JIRA?

Re: [groovy-user] 1.1-rc-2: generic experiments

Guillaume,
I have created a JIRA issue (GROOVY-2268) for the problem.
Please check, if it contains any information required.

Regards,
Dirk
