Hi Konstantin Boudnik Are the things on groovy-lang not considered originating from Apache premises? The repository for the same is licensed to Apache and is in Apache's git repository. Am I missing something here? On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 9:20 PM, Konstantin Boudnik wrote: > There's another con

I side with Cédric here. The Java/Groovy docs should only link to other parts of the official documentation, or at least to endpoints the Groovy team controls. I don’t have to go online to read the docs or root around in my ~/.m2 repo to find them, they are displayed automagically by my IDE an

Well it's not really hidden, as the groovy/javadoc is published on the web and quite high in the google search results (at least for me). Also you can configure e.g. Eclipse to automatically download sources and javadocs for all dependencies, so it's directly visible in the IDE. Cheers, Pasca

Hi Konstantin, yes, that is a test which is part of the asciidoc documentation and it downloads jars. These tests are a bit fragile. Thanks for checking. :) Cheers, Pascal Am 26.02.2016 um 02:35 schrieb Konstantin Boudnik: Ok, here it's I ran the tests a few times and only once I have gotte

There's another concern: docs of an Apache project has to originate, as the source code, from Apache premises (Infra, etc.) While linking doesn't exactly violates this, it is still looks like "Ok, here's our documentation, but for this little piece you'd need to go and check somewhere else". There'

Hi Rather than linking to Mr. Haki or improving this particular Java why not link to http://groovy-lang.org/metaprogramming.html#xform-TupleConstructor? IMO that is better than either of the 2 suggestions. The meta programming doc is community driven and already present. On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 3

I too agree with Cédric, that they should be in the documentation. I don't know how MrHaKi's work is licensed, but if it's open, the documentation could use his work with attributions to him. Best regards, Søren Berg Glasius Hedevej 1, Gl. Rye, 8680 Ry, Denmark Mobile: +45 40 44 91 88, Skype: s

I agree with Cédric. It'd be better to integrate the actual tips in the JavaDocs per se. Furthermore, the Groovy's GroovyDoc can also contain code samples that are actually tested, with assertions. So not only would that improve the documentation itself, without going through another hoop to visit

If you're ready to introduce a link to an external resource in a Javadoc, I think you should instead make an effort to improve this particular Javadoc. I'm strongly against promoting blogs, tutorials, ... that are by nature individual rather than community driven. That, independently of the quality

Also, people these days would usually consult documentation online sources than bother with locating any local javadoc/groovydoc documentation sources, hidden away in some local m2 repo cache (or is that just me?). That’d make a stale link somewhat less likely, outweighed by the goodness of Groovy
