-----------------------------------
Summary: New partial groovy 2.5 causes split-packages itself
Key: GROOVY-8666
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8666
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: release, XML Processing
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Reporter: Josef Härtl
The splitting of groovy into smaller causes another, very major, problem:
First, consider the "main" groovy jar: It contains the package groovy.util with
numerous classes.
Secondly, consider the groovy-xml jar. It contains the package groovy.util and
therein the classes XMLParser etc.
Regardless whether you use OSGi (like in our) or Java 9 (what we are migrating
to): This presents a split-package itself: As we already reproduced in our
build: Whatever jar of these is loaded first wins the groovy.util package and
"overrides" the other.
As a result, it's become random whether our users can use XMLParser or not.
Sometimes it is found, sometimes it's not.
Therefore, the splitting of groovy 2.5 into smaller pieces introduced
split-packages to itself.
