Full Changelog

5.0.0...5.1.0

Bugs

• Fix Javadoc mismatch in ReflectionUtils.getDeclaredMethods (#365)
• Remove unneeded fork parameter (#361)
• Fix Groovy 5 shell support (closes #367) (#380)

Enhancements

• Support Groovy 6 changes to GroovyDoc (closes #381) (#382)

Potentially breaking changes

• Removed the fork parameter
• GMavenPlus no longer includes JLine, Jansi, Ant, or Ivy dependencies

Notes

• GMavenPlus used to include the Jansi 2.4 and JLine 2.14.6 so that Groovy 2.2.0-beta-1 and newer would have colors work in Groovysh out of the box. However, JLine 2 is EOL, Groovy 5.x uses Jline 3, and Groovy 6.x uses JLine 4. Additionally, Maven 3.9 introduces a JLine 2.x into the classpath. This meant that Groovy 5.x and 6.x would never have their colors work with Maven 3.9.
• GMavenPlus used to include Ant and Ivy, to make it easy to use @Grab and AntBuilder in scripts, Groovysh, and Groovy Console. The need to remove JLine/Jansi gave a reason to revisit this philosophy. Here are the reasons why this was abandoned.
  • The plugin version can win over the version in the project (unless you make sure to use an <exclusion>
  • To avoid downloading dependencies you may or may not need
  • If future Groovy versions use other versions of Ant/Ivy (like we ran into with JLine/Jansi), we'll have a similar breaking change needed
• Here are examples of how to add back the dependencies you need

Enhancements

• Support Java 22 and 23 (#302)
• Multiple dependency upgrades, including some that fixed CVEs
• Added a warning about using SecurityManager to prevent System.exit() calls. JEP 411 deprecated SecurityManager in Java 17, for future removal. It is unclear what it will be replaced with for the use case of preventing System.exit() usages. JDK-8199704 is one possibility.

Potentially breaking changes

• Updated the required Maven version to 3.6.3 to conform to the compatibility plan (#309)
