Hi Andres, Because of the potential security issues, code execution is abandoned now( SEE https://github.com/apache/groovy/commit/1d20e307251aedde4f73abe879e2b548f2d16a17 ).
The idea of GProperties is from a big project I developed, it's really useful in that project, so I want to share it with Groovy community and rewrite the util class from scratch to make it not depend on any 3rd-party lib. Current features are listed as follows: 1. Interpolating with {...} and escaping with {{...}} 2. Importing with import.properties 3. Getting property with the specified type ( SEE https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/master/src/main/groovy/groovy/util/GProperties.groovy ) As you can see, these are just some minor features, so I do not see any risk to make Groovy become the next kitchen sink language IMHO. Thanks for your suggestion all the same :-) Cheers, Daniel.Sun ----- Daniel Sun Apache Groovy committer Blog: http://blog.sunlan.me Twitter: @daniel_sun -- Sent from: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Groovy-Dev-f372993.html
