Even in standalone applications and scripts, I find a bias to utilizing Date over LocalDate to avoid having to add redundant imports. It just seems logical to automatically support modern Data/Time usage by importing the java.time package. Working with Date's is such a common task, not having comparable support for LocalDate and LocalDateTime can be very limiting. > 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 Murphy Heiberg > Assignee: Eric Milles > Priority: Major > Labels: breaking > > 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 > [https://groovy.apache.org/blog/groovy-dates-and-times-cheat] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
