Math is a class, not a package. So if you create a class jira (it really should
at least start with a capital in Groovy, so JIRA or Jira) with static methods,
you can access it like you do with Math. Note in your example, “import static
java.lang.Math.*” actually is allowing you to use constants like PI without
putting Math.PI in front – your import actually does nothing because you use
Math.PI and Math is part of java.lang, which is a default import. Below you can
see a proper way:
package org.matz.utils
class Jira{
static void createTicket() {}
}
And in your script:
import org.matz.utils.* //Now you can reference any class in this package by
its name alone, including Jira
Jira.createTicket()

Subject: Calling a static method by packagename.method
Hello! I have some static methods defined and am able to access them after I
import, e,.g.
import static org.matz.utils.jira.*
With that import I can call the methods, e.g. createTicket, but I would like to
be able to call it as jira.createTicket, as is possible with the Math package,
e.g.
import static java.lang.Math.*
println "PI is ${PI} (${Math.PI})"
my method declaration in jira.groovy is (including the namespace):
package org.matz.jenkins
def static void createTicket(String changelog, String summary, Map config) {
... }
Does anyone know what I need to do to either my definitions, or import, or
something else to be able to refer to the createTicket method as
jira.createTicket? I would like to be able to do this to avoid name collisions
as well as to be able to make explicit which "class" I'm calling the method on.
Thanks!
Guy
