This FAQ hopes to answer common questions for users of Groovy
What is Groovy?
- Groovy is trying to provide a high level language (like Ruby, Python or Dylan) that maps cleanly to Java bytecode.
- It needs to work with Java objects, and the root of all the object trees is java.lang.Object.
- The syntax will be Java friendly, but doesn't have to be backwards compatible.
- Groovy will sit on top of J2SE.
Where can I get more information on Groovy?
The current user documentation for Groovy is available from http://groovy.codehaus.org
What if the documentation is wrong?
Anybody can change these pages, just click on the little Edit link on the right of each page (you then have to signup/login if you haven't already).
How can I get a binary version of Groovy?
Download latest distribution as a zip or tgz file and then follow the installation instructions
How do I embed Groovy in my own programs?
Download latest groovy-all.jar and place it in your classpath.
How can I grab the sources?
You can either browse the CVS repository, or if you are happy with using cvs
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.groovy.codehaus.org:/home/projects/groovy/scm login cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.groovy.codehaus.org:/home/projects/groovy/scm co groovy
