[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-10801) AST transform for simple utility classes (only static fields and methods)

["Eric Milles (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10801?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eric Milles updated GROOVY-10801:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Similar to the {{@Category}} transform, I'd like to have a local transform for utility classes.  Consider the following:
{code:groovy}
@Namespace
class C {
  int constant = 1
  def method() {
    // ...
  }
}
{code}

This would be Groovy shorthand for the canonical "utility class":
{code:groovy}
final class C {
  private C() { throw new AssertionError() }
  public static final int constant = 1
  static method {
    // ...
  }
}
{code}

*Update:* Like trait or record, we might consider taking this to the next step:
{code:groovy}
namespace C {
  int constant = 1
  def method() {
    // ...
  }
}
{code}
