Where is groovy.swing.factory.BindProxyFactory?

Question

When trying to use GraphicsBuilder, I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for groovy.swing.factory.BindProxyFactory.

This is my environment:

% java -version
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
% groovy --version
Groovy Version: 1.5.7 JVM: 1.6.0_10
% ls ~/.groovy/lib/graphicsbuilder*
graphicsbuilder-0.6.1.jar
...

And this is what I try to do:

 % groovysh
Groovy Shell (1.5.7, JVM: 1.6.0_10)
Type 'help' or '\h' for help.

Where is BindProxyFactoryBean?

Answer 1

It's in the Groovy 1.6 builds, not the 1.5.7 builds. Apparently GfxBuilder 6.1 was built against the Groovy 1.6 codebase.

Answer 2

Yes, that is correct. Groovy 1.6.x is required for GfxBuilder 6.1 and onwards.
