Some people are effectively paid to work on Gradle, apparently it is not considered appropriate to give back to Groovy by fixing GroovyDoc, instead a workaround of avoiding Groovy and writing in Java is apparently considered more appropriate. Sadly I cannot commit to helping a GroovyDoc rewrite just now, but I can certainly help by trying things out and reporting back. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
