>                 Key: GROOVY-5504
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-5504
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Compiler
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-rc-2
>            Reporter: Guillaume Balaine
>            Priority: Major
>
> As I understood it during the presentation at gr8conf, 
> one can use Groovy's modular capacity to extend other classes like Categories just like Groovy already does for String with tokenize, trim etc...
> Currently, one has to edit a properties file located in META-INF/org/codehaus/groovy and maintain a list of classes that are extensions.
> I suggest that an annotation @Extension (or such like) be added like Mixins so that the compiler knows what class is being extended at compile to avoid having a bloated properties file to maintain.
