Hi all, Ever since the first RC of Groovy 1.6, groovy-all.jar has been a bundle and can be deployed into Sling (actually an OSGi Framework) as is to be used for scripting.
Now that Groovy 1.6 has been released, I think it would be cool to include Groovy in the upcoming Sling Release out of the box in the launchpad archives we are distributing. WDYT ?

Obviously, 1.6 is a very important milestone for the project, with several great new features and improvements: - great runtime performance improvements - multiple assignments - optional return in if/else and try/catch blocks - AST transformations and all the provided transformation annotations like @Singleton, @Lazy, @Immutable, @Delegate and friends - the Grape module and dependency system and its @Grab transformation - various Swing builder improvements, thanks to the Swing / Griffon (http://griffon.codehaus.org) team - as well as several Swing console improvements - the integration of JMX builder - JSR-223 scripting engine built-in - various metaprogramming improvements, like the EMC DSL, per-instance metaclasses even for POJOs, and runtime mixins An article will be published in the coming days on InfoQ (http://www.infoq.com) and GroovyMag (http://www.groovymag.com) coming back on all those features and novelties with more details. You can download Groovy 1.6 at the usual place: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download Additional installers and bundles will be provided soon. And you can also have a look at the JIRA changelog listing features, improvements and bug fixes: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:changelog-panel Very big thanks to all the developers who contributed to the project, in particular our most prolific ones like Paul, Roshan, Danno and Jochen, and to all our users who've helped shape the project, thanks to their great feedback and suggestions. Let me also mention an interesting event which is shaping up: the GR8 Conference, a conference dedicated to Groovy, Grails and Griffon, organized by the Danish JUG and SpringSource! You can learn more about the event on the conference website: http://www.gr8conf.org Or by following the twitter account: http://twitter.com/gr8conf The conference takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and will provide several practical sessions and hands-on labs to get you up-to-speed on those great Groovy-based technologies. The registration should be open in the coming days, so get ready! Enjoy! -- Guillaume Laforge Groovy Project Manager Head of Groovy Development at SpringSource http://www.springsource.com/g2one --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
