Package groovy17: Information

Groovy is a new agile dynamic language for the JVM
combining lots of great features from languages like
Python, Ruby and Smalltalk and making them available
to the Java developers using a Java-like syntax.
Groovy is designed to help you get things done on the
Java platform in a quicker, more concise and fun way -
bringing the power of Python and Ruby inside the Java
platform.

Groovy can be used as an alternative compiler to javac
to generate standard Java bytecode to be used by any
Java project or it can be used dynamically as an
alternative language such as for scripting Java objects,
templating or writing unit test cases.
