class Buildr::Groovy::Groovyc

Groovyc compiler:

compile.using(:groovyc)

You need to require ‘buildr/groovy/compiler’ if you need to use this compiler.

Used by default if .groovy files are found in the src/main/groovy directory (or src/test/groovy) and sets the target directory to target/classes (or target/test/classes).

Groovyc is a joint compiler, this means that when selected for a project, this compiler is used to compile both groovy and java sources. It's recommended that Groovy sources are placed in the src/main/groovy directory, even though this compiler also looks in src/main/java

Groovyc accepts the following options:

• :encoding – Encoding of source files

• :verbose – Asks the compiler for verbose output, true when running in verbose mode.

• :fork – Whether to execute groovyc using a spawned instance of the JVM; defaults to no

• :memoryInitialSize – The initial size of the memory for the underlying VM, if using fork mode; ignored otherwise.

  Defaults to the standard VM memory setting. (Examples: 83886080, 81920k, or 80m)

• :memoryMaximumSize – The maximum size of the memory for the underlying VM, if using fork mode; ignored otherwise.

  Defaults to the standard VM memory setting. (Examples: 83886080, 81920k, or 80m)

• :listfiles – Indicates whether the source files to be compiled will be listed; defaults to no

• :stacktrace – If true each compile error message will contain a stacktrace

• :warnings – Issue warnings when compiling. True when running in verbose mode.

• :debug – Generates bytecode with debugging information. Set from the debug

  environment variable/global option.

• :deprecation – If true, shows deprecation messages. False by default.

• :optimise – Generates faster bytecode by applying optimisations to the program.

• :source – Source code compatibility.

• :target – Bytecode compatibility.

• :javac – Hash of options passed to the ant javac task
