7Supported Classes and Methods for Use in Groovy

Supported Classes and Methods for Use in Groovy Scripts

When writing Groovy scripts, you may only use the classes and methods that are documented in the table below. Using any other class or method may work initially, but will throw a runtime exception when you migrate your code to later versions. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you ensure the Groovy code you write adheres to the classes and methods shown here. For each class, in addition to the method names listed in the table, the following method names are also allowed:

equals()
hashCode()
toString()

In contrast, the following methods are never allowed on any object:

finalize()
getClass()
getMetaClass()
notify()
notifyAll()
wait()
