quasar-groovy

Quasar is a library that provides scalable, lightweight threads for the JVM (see references below for links to more information). Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language for the Java platform. This package integrates Quasar with Groovy, enabling the use of Quasar's elegant programming model from Groovy.

Getting Started

First, you must build Groovy with Quasar support:

mvn clean install

Then, in an application that uses the Groovy replace original dependency:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
	<artifactId>groovy</artifactId>
	<version>2.4.1</version>
</dependency>

on

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
	<artifactId>groovy</artifactId>
	<version>2.4.1.x</version>
	<classifier>quasar-support</classifier>
</dependency>

Architecture

This package contains the original version of Groovy 2.4.1, which has been treated with Quasar InstrumentedTask.
