Groovy sources

The sources of the Groovy project are hosted on Codehaus Git infrastructure.

Additionally, the sources are mirrored on GitHub: https://github.com/groovy/groovy-core
If you're interested in contributing, you can send us GitHub pull requests, or submit patches through JIRA. Please see our contribution page for more.
