Method Details

isUseReflection

Indicates whether the legacy reflection-only runtime mode is enabled.

Returns:

true when reflection-only dispatch is enabled

getMetaClassRegistry

public static MetaClassRegistry getMetaClassRegistry()

Returns Groovy's global MetaClassRegistry.

Returns:

the runtime meta class registry

setKeepJavaMetaClasses

public static void setKeepJavaMetaClasses(boolean keepJavaMetaClasses)

Controls whether Java meta classes should be retained strongly by the runtime.

Parameters:

keepJavaMetaClasses - true to keep Java meta classes

isKeepJavaMetaClasses

public static boolean isKeepJavaMetaClasses()

Indicates whether Java meta classes are retained strongly by the runtime.

Returns:

true if Java meta classes are kept

stopThreadedReferenceManager

public static void stopThreadedReferenceManager()

This method can be used to ensure that no threaded created by a reference manager will be active. This is useful if the Groovy runtime itself is loaded through a class loader which should be disposed off. Without calling this method and if a threaded reference manager is active the class loader cannot be unloaded! Per default no threaded manager will be used.

getShortVersion

public static String getShortVersion()
