GDK Extensions to Object

Groovy adds a number of methods to java.lang.Object, most of which deal with types that serve as collections or aggrgates, such as Lists or DOM Nodes.

Return Value	Method	Description
Boolean	any {closure}	returns `true` if the closure returns true for any item
List	collect {closure}	returns a list of all items that were returned from the closure
Collection	collect(Collection collection) {closure}	same as above, but adds each item to the given collection
void	each {closure}	simply executes the closure for each item
void	eachWithIndex {closure}	same as each{} except it passes two aruments: the item and the index
Boolean	every {closure}	returns `true` if the closure returns `true` for all items
Object	find {closure}	returns the first item that matches the closure expression
List	findAll {closure}	returns all items that match the closure expression
Integer	findIndexOf {closure}	returns the index of the first item that matched the given expression

See the GDK documentation on Object for the complete list of added methods.
