Folks, I've been working more on the Groovy integration with Maven 2 and I
think its time again for another release.
The major changes in this release are for supporting Maven plugins
implemented in Groovy (Yeah, baby, yeah). With this, a few more modules
were added, which were organized into a new groupId
"org.codehaus.mojo.groovy". You can see the layout here:
http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/groovy/
<snip>
Release Notes - Maven 2.x Groovy Plugin - Version 1.0-alpha-3
** Bug
* [MGROOVY-29] - Property resolving in the 'project' delegate is not
working correctly when run from the Maven reactor
** Improvement
* [MGROOVY-24] - When maven.test.skip=true skip groovy:testCompile
* [MGROOVY-28] - Re-package all Groovy modules into
org.codehaus.mojo.groovy
* [MGROOVY-30] - Fix dependency injection of the plexus
GroovyComponentFactory
* [MGROOVY-31] - Add ant = new AntBuilder() to groovy:execute
* [MGROOVY-32] - Maven ${} resolution of inlined Groovy scripts is
causing problems with GStrings
* [MGROOVY-33] - Allow optional handling of AssertionError (which is
produced by Groovy's assert keyword) to omit evil stacktrace
* [MGROOVY-34] - Hook up to the Plexus/Maven ExpressionEvaluator muck
for property expansion
* [MGROOVY-36] - Hookup AntBuilder's output to Maven's plugin Log
* [MGROOVY-37] - Create plugin development guide for implementing
plugins in Groovy
** New Feature
* [MGROOVY-1] - Support mojo plugin.xml generation for Groovy mojos
* [MGROOVY-26] - Add an archetype for groovy-mojo projects
* [MGROOVY-27] - Split up the mojo support from the
compilation/execution support
* [MGROOVY-35] - Add fail() helper to GroovyMojoSupport
</snip>
The new site has just been deployed here:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/groovy/
And includes the new guide to developing plugins with Groovy:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/groovy/guide-groovy-plugin-development.html
Snapshots have been published here with the latest and greatest Groovy bits:
http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/org/codehaus/mojo/groovy/
Aside from the groupId change, the other significant change was to the
groovy:execute goal and how the source code was specified. Previously this
was the syntax:
<configuration>
<source>
<body>
println "Groovy baby!"
</body>
</source>
</configuration>
This was using a nested type under <source> to determine the type, one of
<body>, <file> or <url>. The new syntax does not need the child element, so
one can:
<configuration>
<source>
println "Groovy baby!"
</source>
</configuration>
or:
<configuration>
<source>${pom.basedir}/src/main/groovy/whatever.groovy</source>
</configuration>
Both syntaxes for configuration are supported in this release, though when
1.0-beta-1 roles around the nested element syntax will be dropped.
Other significant improvements are:
* Allowing GStrings to be used in inline source bodies
* Improved property resolution which behaves normally in the reactor and
supports the same expansion of variables as plugin configuration (ie.
${session} will resolve to a MavenSession, etc).
I think this is going to be the last of the alpha releases, next release is
probably going to be 1.0-beta-1.
* * *
[+1] Yeah, baby, yeah (release it)
[+0] Begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism! (eh, whatever)
[-1] Sorry, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with
frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! (don't release)
Vote will conclude on Friday 10pmish (pacific).
Please vote :-)
