Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-11513:
--------------------------------------
I have not spoken for or against the extra default import. Just trying to offer
up solutions that are available in current releases.
It may make sense to add java.time to the defaults. It would be a breaking
change. And IDE support would need to be added:
https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/blob/master/base/org.eclipse.jdt.groovy.core/src/org/codehaus/jdt/groovy/integration/internal/GroovyLanguageSupport.java
> java.time.* should be imported automatically

> Key: GROOVY-11513
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11513
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler
> Affects Versions: 4.0.23
> Reporter: Scott
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.x
>
>
> if java.time is the recommended way to proceed forward when dealing with
> dates,
> java.time.* should be included automatically similar to how java.util.Date is
> currently available without import.
> The preferred approach would be to make it a global import which would be in
> line with existing Groovy handling of java.util.Date
>
> The least invasive approach would be to make the import only apply if
> groovy-datetime module has been added.
>
> implementation "org.apache.groovy:groovy-datetime"
>
> should automatically import java.time.* to all classes
>
> This provides an easier migration path from Date -> DateTIme
