Groovy Modularisation

Groovy 1.9 includes a brand new modularisation feature which allows Groovy to be split into smaller pieces. This mechanism allows us to package up Groovy for different contexts (think enterprise servers, desktops, netbooks and phones) but also to evolve Groovy over time. It also allows module writers greater power in terms of being able to leverage many of the Groovy run-time and compile-time internal features.

This talk looks at these modularisation features including defining modules, module metadata, adding meta-programming features, integration hooks and more. We will also build our own "hello world" module from scratch.
