Class Summary
AbstractFactory
AllTestSuite: AllTestSuite can be used in extension of GroovyTestSuite to execute TestCases written in Groovy from inside a Java IDE.
AntBuilder: Allows Ant tasks to be used with GroovyMarkup
BuilderSupport: An abstract base class for creating arbitrary nested trees of objects or events
CharsetToolkit: Utility class to guess the encoding of a given text file.
ClosureComparator: A Comparator which uses a closure to compare 2 values being equal
Eval: Allow easy integration from Groovy into Java through convenience methods.
Expando: Represents a dynamically expandable bean.
FactoryBuilderSupport: Mix of BuilderSupport and SwingBuilder's factory support.
GroovyCollections: A Collections utility class
GroovyLog: Represents an arbitrary logging service.
GroovyMBean: A GroovyObject facade for an underlying MBean which acts like a normal groovy object but which is actually implemented via an underlying JMX MBean.
GroovyScriptEngine: Specific script engine able to reload modified scripts as well as dealing properly with dependent scripts.
GroovyTestCase: A default JUnit TestCase in Groovy.
GroovyTestSuite: A TestSuite which will run a Groovy unit test case inside any Java IDE either as a unit test case or as an application.
IndentPrinter: A helper class for printing indented text
MapEntry: Represents a list of Integer objects key a specified Object up to but not including a given and to.
Node: Represents an arbitrary tree node which can be used for structured metadata or any arbitrary XML-like tree.
NodeBuilder: A helper class for creating nested trees of Node objects for handling arbitrary data
NodeList: A List implementation which is returned by queries on a `Node` which provides some XPath like helper methods for GPath.
NodePrinter: A helper class for creating nested trees of data
ObjectGraphBuilder: A builder for creating object graphs.
ObjectGraphBuilder.DefaultChildPropertySetter: Default impl that calls parent.propertyName = child If parent.propertyName is a Collection it will try to add child to the collection.
ObjectGraphBuilder.DefaultClassNameResolver: Default impl that capitalizes the classname.
ObjectGraphBuilder.DefaultIdentifierResolver: Default impl, always returns 'id'
ObjectGraphBuilder.DefaultNewInstanceResolver: Default impl that calls Class.newInstance()
ObjectGraphBuilder.DefaultReferenceResolver: Default impl, always returns 'refId'
ObjectGraphBuilder.DefaultRelationNameResolver: Default impl that returns parentName & childName accordingly.
ObservableMap: Map decorator that will trigger PropertyChangeEvents when a value changes.
OrderBy: A helper class for sorting objects via a closure to return the field or operation on which to sort.
Proxy: Dynamic groovy proxy for another object.
ProxyGenerator: Classes to generate 'Proxy' objects which implement interfaces and/or extend classes.
XmlNodePrinter: Prints a node with all children in XML format.
XmlParser: A helper class for parsing XML into a tree of Node instances for a simple way of processing XML.
