Richard Elkins commented on GROOVY-8131:
----------------------------------------
Jochen,
How can "static final SimpleDateFormat s3" be valid if the variable has been
declared final but has no value assigned? Without the token "final", I would
agree with you.
Newline (\n) part of the syntax of a language? Why would you want to make an
invisible character (text line terminator) part of a language?
You might be thinking that I am picky or Johnny-come-lately with respect to
Groovy. Both true. Just started compiling older Java to Groovy as part of
self-education.
