Paul King closed GROOVY-9394.
-----------------------------
> Groovy could provide some minimal methods to assist with migrating between
> Groovy versions
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-9394
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9394
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Paul King
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.5.10, 4.0.0-alpha-1, 3.0.1
>
> Time Spent: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The goal would be to allow code like:
> {code:java}
> def slurper = GroovySystem.shortVersion.isAtLeast('3.0') ? new
> groovy.xml.Slurper() : new groovy.util.XmlSlurper()
> {code}
> Out of scope:
> * this is not a full blown version api/utility
> * this isn't catering to allow migration scenarios, e.g. the above example
> is over-simplified for illustrative purposes; it is only useful as is in
> dynamic contexts and really needs to use reflection even for that case
> * these methods aren't available in all Groovy versions, so while not fully
> solving the problem, act as reference implementations in the meantime (we may
> backport these to some earlier branches but that still doesn't solve the
> problem for existing releases)
