Groovy meetup---July 23

andrew.eisenb...@gmail.com (Andrew E) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:07:38 UT

Hi all,

We are organizing a Groovy meetup on July 23. It's going to be an
informal way to learn about what's going on in Vancouver's Groovy
world.

I'll be talking about the new Groovy Eclipse plugin and compiler
support that we are working on at SpringSource. And there will be
people from Boats.com who will talk about how their use of Groovy and

easyb to test eclipse plugins?

andrew.eisenb...@gmail.com (Andrew E) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:13:58 UT

Does anyone know if it is possible to run eclipse plugin tests through
easyb (ie- to write bdd tests for eclipse plugins)?

Easyb is very cool, and I would like to start using it for my plugin
tests.

Drop top N items

danmonroe....@gmail.com (DanMonroe) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:10:01 UT

HI All,

Hopefully this is an easy question.

Given an unsorted list of numbers, I need to "drop" or disregard N
number of the highest numbers. Then I need to print the list in
original order and show which numbers were dropped.

for example, given:

def myList = [ 5, 2, 7, 9, 7, 3, 1 ]
def highNumbersToDrop = 2

Google added support for Java in the GAE. Guillaume Laforge has
written a blog entry on running Groovy on the GAE.

Grails is not working on the current version of the app engine but it
sure is exciting to hear about the Java support.
