{groovy-www}[Groovy] is a multi-faceted language for the Java Virtual Machine. It builds
upon the strengths of Java, but has additional power features inspired by languages like
Python, Ruby and Smalltalk.
Groovy makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero
learning curve as well as supports Domain-Specific Languages and other compact syntax
so your code becomes easy to read and maintain.
Groovy makes writing shell and build scripts easy with its powerful processing primitives,
OO abilities and an Ant DSL.
It also increases developer productivity by reducing scaffolding code when developing web,
GUI, database or console applications. Groovy simplifies testing by supporting unit testing
and mocking out-of-the-box. Groovy also seamlessly integrates with all existing Java classes
and libraries and compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere you can use Java.
== Sources for the Groovy website
This project builds two Groovy websites:
* The _user_ website contains information for users of the Apache Groovy programming language
* The _developer_ website contains information for those interested in contributing to the language development
The websites are static once generated. The generation process uses {gradle}[Gradle] and Groovy's templating
capabilities to generate the sites.
Build is image:{build-icon}[build status, link={groovy-ci}].
== Generating the user site
----
git clone https://github.com/apache/groovy-website
cd groovy-website
./gradlew :site-user:webzip
----
The output can be found in the `site-user/build` directory:
----
site-user/build
|---- site : the generated static website
|---- reports : deadlinks report
|---- distributions : zip of the website
----
== Generating the developer site
----
git clone https://github.com/apache/groovy-website
cd groovy-website
./gradlew :site-dev:webzip
----
The output can be found in the `site-dev/build` directory:
----
site-dev/build
|---- site : the generated static website
|---- reports : deadlinks report
|---- distributions : zip of the website
----
== Contributing
The website is generated thanks to Gradle and makes use of the {markupte}[Markup Template Engine].
The structure of the project consists of these modules/directories:
----
generator : module for utility classes and model for generating the website
site : directory with shared website content
site-user : module which describes which content appears in the user site
site-dev : module which describes which content appears in the developer site
----
The `site` subproject consists of:
----
src/main/site : sources for the static website
|--- assets : static resources such as images, CSS files, ...
|--- html : elements that templates include as raw HTML contents
|--- includes : includes used by templates
|--- layouts : layouts for the various pages
|--- pages : individual pages
----
The `site-user` subproject consists of:
----
build.gradle : website weaving logic for user site
----
The `site-dev` subproject consists of:
----
build.gradle : website weaving logic for dev site
----
Additional details (a little dated but mostly relevant) can be found in
this http://melix.github.io/blog/2014/07/new-groovy-website.html[blog post].
== Continuous Integration
The official CI server runs {groovy-ci}[here] (login as user guest and leave the password blank)
and is sponsored by http://www.jetbrains.com[JetBrains].
WARNING: The website is continuously updated from the _asf-site_ branch.
This means that *every merge on master is immediately published*.
Changes that need to be applied on a specific date need to be done on a dedicated branch.
