GPars and versions of Groovy
Hi,
Currently the GPars build system assumes one and only one version of
Groovy. Currently we have four, most likely incompatible, versions of
Groovy on the boil: 2.4.14, 2.5.0-beta-3, 2.6.0-alpha-3, 3.0.0-alpha-1.
Should GPars be build specially for each version of Groovy?

Hi,
It depends which bit of GPars you are using. if you are using the CSP bit, sometimes known as JCSP, then this works on most JDK's back to 1.5 (I think). I have recompiled the code as each JDK came ut to the latest version and never had to chnage the underlying Java coding. I have yet to try JDK9. But it is on my todo list in the near future.
I will be making the JCSP more easily availabale with an Apache 2 licence very shortly.

Thanks to you for this -
Does this mean that GPars will no longer work on JDK1.7 ? What is the minimum jdk that we require for GPars, please ?
Thx

GPars 2.0 requires JDK8 or later.
I am not interested in doing anything with any JDK earlier that JDK8,
so unless someone other than me does something, GPars 1.X is now past
end of life and unmaintained.

It has been a very long while since I created the JCSP-1.1-rc5 artefact
and put it into Maven Central. I can't remember which Java I used to
build it. I am not sure I still have the Git repository with all the
changes I needed to create the artefact.
> Currently I have compilations for 2.4.14 and 2.5.x
For Gant (a now useless project except for GINT) I have a Gradle build
that builds for whichever Groovy versions I choose. Currently I assume:
2.4: 2.4.14
2.5: 2.5.0-beta-3
2.6: 2.6.0-alpha-3
3.0: 3.0.0-alpha-1
except it doesn't build just now as I haven't upgraded the build to
Gradle 4.6. I'll fix this. The core idea is to set Gradle to build
multiple projects but all using the same source just with different
dependencies. Naming is the big issue. I have gone with:
gant_groovy2.4
gant_groovy2.5
gant_groovy2.6
gant_groovy3.0

I am assuming a JDK8 target even though I am using JDK9. I have not
done this as yet, but I am guessing that my one-dimensional structure
can be extended to two dimensions by changing the path to the JDK
version. This I think would be an excellent extension of the build
matrix.
If we need to do for GPars what I did for Gant, it would be a good
opportunity to revise that whole build, indeed start from scratch. The
Gant build has the added complexity of being able to build against a
locally installed Groovy (built from Groovy master/HEAD usually).

Hi,
I am having the same problems with the JCSP and GroovyJCSP libraries as well!
Currently I have compilations for 2.4.14 and 2.5.x
I am then coping with the various versions of Java as well J8, 9 10 and 11 before the end of this year!
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Experience with Gant (which I am using to fiddle to get data for
application on GPars, not because Gant is relevant any more) indicates
that 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 seem to behave the same but 3.0 is quite
different – which is entirely reasonable. However I am finding that
2.4.14 on JDK8 has some critical differences of XML processing
behaviour and some other issues to 2.4.14 on JDK9. So JDK9 causes some
parts of 2.4.14 to behave differently to 2.4.14 on JDK8. I guess this
implies CI is not picking up these differences.

building for 2.4.14 is supposed to work for 2.5.0 and 2.6.0. If not we
did most likely something wrong. 3.0.0 is a different issue, but even
here the 2.4.14 may just work.
