Hi Groovy Team, We have a DSL plug-in platform in our company. I advice people to write Extension module classes for existing Java classes for better readable code in groovy environment. In that perspective, I want to avoid every one having comma separated class name entries in `META-INF/groovy/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule`....With that idea, I am just thinking of alternative ways to declare the ExtensionModule classes.
------- Is it a decent idea to have annotations like @ExtensionClass and @StaticExtensionClass for Class types instead of manually declaring the class names in `META-INF/groovy/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule`?? May be using apt (I am not sure), we can create the org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule for each compilation unit and let it go the classpath.... Let Groovy runtime work as usual...! I am just throwing my thoughts NOTE-1: Currently, the `META-INF/groovy/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule` has the extension module classes. The IDE (Intellij Idea) is showing the extension methods with ctrl+space.... That is excellent and required. The same tooling support is required also with the idea mentioned above... NOTE-2: It the idea is considered for implementation, I am more than happy to work on this feature and submit PR...
