Spring Tool Suite 3.0.3 is out - more than 100 bug fixes.
Spring still suffers from no separation of api from implementation
and so each dependency is bloated with implementations for
libraries you will never use. Yay.
Groovy 1.7.3 released - mr haki as usual goes
through whats in 1.7.3, hilights include @InheritedConstructor,
some new methods on dates, extra facilities around string
handling
GContracts 1.1 - a framework for design by contract that
uses Groovy AST and annotations to take contracts and insert
asserts that fulfill them into your method bodies. It currently
supports both pre and post conditions and condition
inheritance.
Spock 0.4- bring on the

ramps up the use of the AST in Groovy to make testing expressive.
RV: also makes it look way too perl like for my reading.
