[jira] [Updated] (KARAF-5202) Groovy and groovysh integration into Karaf console

["Denis Jouvin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-5202?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Denis Jouvin updated KARAF-5202:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
The idea is to integrate Groovy into Karaf as an alternative scripting and/or interactive shell language. Since Groovysh also uses JLine, integration is quite easy (pass the current Jline console/session instance to Groovysh at construction time). There are some class loading issues though since Groovy uses sometimes the TCCL even when we instruct it to use a given class loader (I opened a Groovy JIRA issue about that).

The Groovysh shell then would allow to get OSGi service reference or Blueprint/Spring context references, or execute Karaf commands. Groovysh has a very nice command completion feature that enable to discover any objet (including OSGi service instance) API at runtime, which makes it very easy to play with in a dynamic environment like Karaf. In addition, its native closures and set operations, and very concise syntaxe, facilitates its use as a shell replacement.

This open nice possibilites like exploratory programming on a live running Karaf instance, scripting, tests or analysis, etc.

Another common use case is to modify a not yet parameterized value in a Blueprint or Spring context at runtime (you can browse or access the Blueprint context components, and reinstaciate them or inject properties).
