[Codenarc-developer] CodeNarc and Groovy 1.8

[Hamlet D'A. <ham...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I checked in changes this morning that have Groovy 1.8 support.
CodeNarc should continue to be built with Groovy 1.7, but there are
some changes so that it can run with a 1.8 runtime.

Chris, we need to figure out a way to do a "mvn test" using Groovy 1.8
from the build, but continue to build only the binaries with 1.7. Some
rules need special logic to support both 1.8 and 1.7. You can check
the version of Groovy using the GroovyVersion class and then implement
appropriately. Maybe in the end we have 2 different pom.xml files for
now, one with 1.8 and one with 1.7.

There is just one patch I have from Viktor that needs to be merged (it
is 2 new rules), and then I'd like to start testing for the next
release. It would be great to get the release done in May.
