[groovy-user] [ANN] MetaBuilder 1.1.0 released

The latest 1.1.0 release of MetaBuilder is now available on sourceforge.
Info and download instructions can be found here:
http://groovytools.sourceforge.net/builder

Many of the following new features were inspired by the feedback I've
received so far:

* Added support for min and max properties on collections and properites.
If the size of a collection or property falls out of the bounds of its min
and/or max vales, an exception is thrown.

* You can now specify an Pattern as the check for a property, in addition to
a Closure.

* Added MetaConfigBuilder, which mimics ConfigSlurper and generates
ConfigObjects.

* Added support for ConfigSlurper syntax.  You can now use syntax like:
invoice {
	id = '123'
	date = new Date()
}
You can mix with the old attribute syntax as you like, too:
invoice(id: '123) {
	date = new Date()
}

* You can now specify the def property as a Closure which is then called
everytime a default value is needed.

Should this be an item in Groovy Contrib at Codehaus rather than a
separate project on Sourceforge ?

Or as suggested in a past thread, even included in Groovy-core, at some point.

That works for me as well :-)

I wonder if we should investigate some way of making the "Groovy
Contrib" idea easier to work with -- Subversion is of course the problem
here :-)

Launchpad has this idea that projects (with Bazaar branches) can belong
to a super-project.  So this means projects can be born and, if
appropriate, die just like on Sourceforge, Rubyforge, GitHub, etc.
without the need for users to be specially registered as able to commit
to something like the GroovyContrib Subversion repository -- Subversion
really is the wrong tool for this sort of loosely coupled concept.

I am not sure Codehaus can support this sort of idea, at least not yet.
Perhaps though we should be more proactive in trying to find a way for
anyone to start a project that is associated with Groovy that then has a
sensible and easily migration path through various stages of acceptance

+1 for example GraphicsBuilder and JideBuilder may move into the griffon
area, which lives in the core repo.

How about making it support any check object by using isCase()?

Mike,

That's a really good idea, thanks!  I just checked a change into the trunk
that delegates the check to ScriptByteCodeAdapter.isCase().

Now MetaBuilder's check supports Closures, Collections, Classes, Numbers,
Strings, Ranges, and Patterns just like Groovy switch case statements.

Re: [groovy-user] [ANN] MetaBuilder 1.1.0 released


What a great idea. I could really use this.

To bad it only works with JDK 1.6 as it uses the JDK 1.6 only push and pop
methods from LinkedList.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to remove the 1.6 dependency? I guess there are
more uses which cannot deploy to JDK 1.6 for some reasons.

Cheers,
Marcel
