RE: [DISCUSS] Groovy 2.6 potential retirement to focus on Groovy 3.0

As you can see, many fixes/improvements are accumulated in the master branch[1], i.e. 3.0.0 branch, so groovy 3.0.0 is making progress but moves a bit slow. We wish 3.0.0 GA could be released next year(2019). Absolutely, some milestone releases will be released Before GA. Cheers, Daniel.Sun [1]

There was overwhelming support to drop 2.6 to focus on 3.0 and mixed feedback on whether to do one more 2.6 alpha release or not. So, I'll go ahead and do one more 2.6 alpha release - quite possibly much less work than further discussions and it gives us a clean end point which I am highly in

Re: [DISCUSS] Groovy 2.6 potential retirement to focus on Groovy 3.0

(Views below are my own, but I think a lot of the other NiFi PMC members would agree) I think the Groovy users in the Apache NiFi community would benefit far more from focusing on 3.0 and dropping 2.6. They're already forced to be on Java 8 because we require it as a baseline for the last several

Option 2 or 3.  I'm running Grails 2.5.3 on JDK 8, although I intend to upgrade to the current versions, when I have the time for that. On 2018-06-13 07:53 , Scott Hickey wrote: I've have always appreciated the willingness of the Groovy team to recognize that enterprises can't always move

Re: [DISCUSS] Groovy 2.6 potential retirement to focus on Groovy 3.0

Option 2 or 3 from my side. I have thought about this, and given the fast movement of the Java universe at the moment it seems the right move, from a resources and public perception point of view. Also, Groovy 2.5 is not too shabby, so still being on JDK 7 it is not like "no Groovy for you"

Re: [DISCUSS] Groovy 2.6 potential retirement to focus on Groovy 3.0

Agree with option 3 as well. If you're stuck on pre jdk8 and have groovy 2.5 - that's a pretty good situation. JDK9/10/11+ compatibility is the direction the language needs to go. On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 8:19 AM sigzero wrote: > Option 3. > > You can always revisit the 2.6 branch if that

Re: [DISCUSS] Groovy 2.6 potential retirement to focus on Groovy 3.0

Option 3. You can always revisit the 2.6 branch if that becomes necessary. Resources being scarce (as others have said), put them where they are needed on Groovy 3. -- Bob On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 8:11 AM, Corum, Michael wrote: > If 3.0 will still support JDK8, I’d vote for option 3 as well.

If 3.0 will still support JDK8, I’d vote for option 3 as well. If 3 will require 9, then maybe option 2. Michael Corum VP, Technical Architecture Solutions RGA Reinsurance Company 16600 Swingley Ridge Road Chesterfield, Missouri 6301701706 T 636.736.7066 www.rgare.com From: Paul King

As with everyone else: option 3, or even just solving the Java9+ issue separate from 3.0 is much more important than JDK7. Cheers, Simon On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 8:44 PM, Iván López wrote: > I also vote for Option 3. I think it is better to focus on JDK 9+ than in > JDK 7. > > Regards, Iván. >
