Method Detail

start

public static Thread start(Thread self,
                           Closure closure)

Start a Thread with the given closure as a Runnable instance.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

closure - the Runnable closure

Returns:

the started thread

Since:

1.0

start

public static Thread start(Thread self,
                           String name,
                           Closure closure)

Start a Thread with a given name and the given closure as a Runnable instance.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

name - the name to give the thread

closure - the Runnable closure

Returns:

the started thread

Since:

1.6

startDaemon

public static Thread startDaemon(Thread self,
                                 Closure closure)

Start a daemon Thread with the given closure as a Runnable instance.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

closure - the Runnable closure

Returns:

the started thread

Since:

1.0

startDaemon

public static Thread startDaemon(Thread self,
                                 String name,
                                 Closure closure)

Start a daemon Thread with a given name and the given closure as a Runnable instance.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

name - the name to give the thread

closure - the Runnable closure

Returns:

the started thread

Since:

1.6

getLastMatcher

public static Matcher getLastMatcher(Matcher self)

Get the last hidden matcher that the system used to do a match.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

Returns:

the last regex matcher

Since:

1.0

sleep

public static void sleep(Object self,
                         long milliseconds)

Sleep for so many milliseconds, even if interrupted.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

milliseconds - the number of milliseconds to sleep

Since:

1.0

sleep

public static void sleep(Object self,
                         long milliseconds,
                         Closure onInterrupt)

Sleep for so many milliseconds, using a given closure for interrupt processing.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

milliseconds - the number of milliseconds to sleep

onInterrupt - interrupt handler, InterruptedException is passed to the Closure as long as it returns false, the sleep continues

Since:

1.0

parse

public static Date parse(Date self,
                         String format,
                         String input)
                  throws ParseException

Parse a String into a Date instance using the given pattern. This convenience method acts as a wrapper for SimpleDateFormat.

Note that a new SimpleDateFormat instance is created for every invocation of this method (for thread safety).

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

format - pattern used to parse the input string.

input - String to be parsed to create the date instance

Returns:

a new Date instance representing the parsed input string

Throws:

ParseException - if there is a parse error

Since:

1.5.7

getBundle

public static ResourceBundle getBundle(ResourceBundle self,
                                       String bundleName)

Works exactly like ResourceBundle.getBundle(String). This is needed because the java method depends on a particular stack configuration that is not guaranteed in Groovy when calling the Java method.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

bundleName - the name of the bundle.

Returns:

the resource bundle

Since:

1.6.0

ResourceBundle.getBundle(String)

getBundle

public static ResourceBundle getBundle(ResourceBundle self,
                                       String bundleName,
                                       Locale locale)

Works exactly like ResourceBundle.getBundle(String, Locale). This is needed because the java method depends on a particular stack configuration that is not guaranteed in Groovy when calling the Java method.

Parameters:

self - placeholder variable used by Groovy categories; ignored for default static methods

bundleName - the name of the bundle.

locale - the speficic locale

Returns:

the resource bundle

Since:

1.6.0
