Hi keke! This is excellent and will remind to some long Restlet users an experience that was made on "fluent builders" early in API design. Lars are you around? :)
It seems to me that Groovy DSL are much more capable of supporting this style of programming (DSL) than what we initially achieved with a pure Java fluent API. I have added Guillaume Laforge (Groovy manager) in copy. I remember a presentation on DSL that he made recently to me and a group of open source fellows. He might be interested in hosting your project as a Groovy module... :-) I've had a look at your converted tutorial examples and they look pretty nice and compact: http://code.google.com/p/groovy-restlet/wiki/RestletTutorialExample Great work!
