The groovy-guice project enables you to use Groovy script files and Groovy source files as binding targets in Guice. Ease of use and minimal amount of code for configuration were the design goals.

Simple examples are given inside Javadocs of this project and there is a Junit testcase in the source.

You should consider using groovy-guice, if you want to use Groovy power, but you have to wrap it or want to call it from within java.

currently supported features: * compilation of class/script files at runtime * compilation of code inside a String at runtime * configurable recompilation of changed class and script files * URLs as part of classpath * @Inject is fully supported for resolved Groovy classes * OSGi

changes in version 0.4.0 * Modules written in Groovy can now be added during module installation time. New methods were introduced for this feature. Please have a look at UserGuide for the current API usage. * API from version 0.2.0 was removed. * Some methods are now deprecated in GroovyGuice. Expect them to be removed within next major release. * added some convenient methods to GroovyGuice.

changes in version 0.3.2 * requires now Guice 2.0 * due to some changes in final Guice 2.0 release, the integration with Guice and therefore the API of groovy-guice had to be refactored. Please have a look at UserGuide for the current API usage. As a nice side effect of this refactoring, the API is now much smaller. * old API of release 0.2.0 is scheduled for removal within release 0.4.0

maintenance release 0.3.1 * switched dependency for guice to org.guiceyfruit.guice-all 2.0-beta-7 * due to interface changes in guice SPI package, this release is NOT compatible with earlier versions of guice (org.guiceyfruit.guice-all 2.0-beta-6 and earlier or guice20090415 and earlier)

changes in version 0.3 * this release is a complete overhaul * old API based on annotations is completely marked as deprecated and expect it to be removed after the next release * introducing a fluent API * class loading was also overhauled * requires now Guice 2.0 (tested with 20081116 and 20090205) * tested with groovy 1.5.7 and 1.6.0 * supports OSGi now * old API uses also new backend, so it should work also on OSGi installations, but this feature is not tested * little support was added for peaberry for OSGi integration * from this release on, a maven2 repository is provided for groovy-guice * recompilation can now be handled transparently by groovy-guice. No need to inject a Provider, use the recompilable class as a "normal" class!

changes in version 0.2 * added new annotation GroovyResolve * whether groovy classes should be resolved or not * added new annotation GroovyCodeBase * apply security permissions from .policy files to Groovy scripts * an example PolicyFile is provided in Wiki
