Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-10801: -------------------------------------- Reading the Lombok docs, I’m concert about static import sopport as well. I was thinking about moving StaticImportVisitor to the end of semantic analysis or the start of canonicalization. I’ll try f do one things and report back. > AST transform for simple utility classes (only static fields and methods) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-10801 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10801 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: ast builder > Reporter: Eric Milles > Assignee: Eric Milles > Priority: Minor > > Similar to the {{@Category}} transform, I'd like to have a local transform > for utility classes. Consider the following: > {code:groovy} > @Namespace > class C { > int constant = 1 > def method() { > // ... > } > } > {code} > This would be Groovy shorthand for the canonical "utility class": > {code:groovy} > final class C { > private C() { throw new AssertionError() } > public static final int constant = 1 > static method { > // ... > } > } > {code} > *Update:* Like {{trait}} or {{record}}, we might consider taking this to the > next step: > {code:groovy} > namespace C { > int constant = 1 > def method() { > // ... > } > } > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
