Hi all, The binary distribution of 3.0.0 GA was built with JDK 8, so it is for Java 8 only. If you run the binary distribution on Java 9+, you will get illegal access warnings, and groovySh can not be launched with IllegalAccessException. The following issues has been submitted: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9395 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9390 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9393
If you want Java 8+ support, e.g. Java 11, please build the binary distribution from the source distribution by yourself, sorry for the inconvenience... We will release 3.0.1 soon and its binary distribution will be for Java 8+ Here are the steps to build the binary distribution from the source distribution: > gradle -b wrapper.gradle wrapper >./gradlew installGroovy Cheers, Daniel.Sun ----- Apache Groovy committer & PMC member Blog: http://blog.sunlan.me Twitter: @daniel_sun -- Sent from: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Groovy-Users-f329450.html
