[Java] Class DefaultGroovyMethods

    public class DefaultGroovyMethods
    extends DefaultGroovyMethodsSupport

This class defines new groovy methods which appear on normal JDK classes inside the Groovy environment. Static methods are used with the first parameter being the destination class, i.e. `public static String reverse(String self)` provides a `reverse()` method for `String`.

NOTE: While this class contains many 'public' static methods, it is primarily regarded as an internal class (its internal package name suggests this also). We value backwards compatibility of these methods when used within Groovy but value less backwards compatibility at the Java method call level. I.e. future versions of Groovy may remove or move a method call in this file but would normally aim to keep the method available from within Groovy.

  Parameters:
    `self` - the original array

    public static java.util.Iterator drop(java.util.Iterator self, int num)

  Returns the longest prefix of this list where each element passed to the given closure condition evaluates to true. Similar to takeWhile(Iterable, groovy.lang.Closure) except that it attempts to preserve the type of the original list.

       def nums = [ 1, 3, 2 ]
       assert nums.takeWhile{ it < 1 } == []
       assert nums.takeWhile{ it < 3 } == [ 1 ]
       assert nums.takeWhile{ it < 4 } == [ 1, 3, 2 ]

  Parameters:
    `self` - the original list

### drop

### dropWhile

    public static java.util.List dropWhile(java.util.List self, Closure condition)

### dropWhile

    public static java.util.List dropWhile(java.lang.Iterable self, Closure condition)

  Create a suffix of the given Map by dropping as many entries as possible from the front of the original Map such that calling the given closure condition evaluates to true when passed each of the dropped entries (or key/value pairs).

       def shopping = [milk:1, bread:2, chocolate:3]
       assert shopping.takeWhile{ it.key.size() < 6 } == [milk:1, bread:2]
       assert shopping.takeWhile{ it.value % 2 } == [milk:1]
       assert shopping.takeWhile{ k, v -> k.size() + v <= 7 } == [milk:1, bread:2]

  If the map instance does not have ordered keys, then this function could appear to drop random entries. Groovy by default uses LinkedHashMap, so this shouldn't be an issue in the main.
  Parameters:
    `self` - a Map
    `condition` - a 1 (or 2) arg Closure that must evaluate to true for the entry (or key and value) to continue dropping elements
  Returns:
    the shortest suffix of the given Map such that the given closure condition evaluates to true for each element dropped from the front of the Map

### each

    public static java.lang.Object each(java.lang.Object self, Closure closure)

### groupBy

    public static java.util.Map groupBy(java.util.Collection self, java.util.List closures)

  Sorts all collection members into (sub)groups determined by the supplied mapping closures. Each closure should return the key that this item should be grouped by. The returned LinkedHashMap will have an entry for each distinct 'key path' returned from the closures, with each value being a list of items for that 'group path'.

  Example usage:

      def result = [1,2,3,4,5,6].groupBy([{ it % 2 }, { it < 4 }])
       assert result == [1:[(true):[1, 3], (false):[5]], 0:[(true):[2], (false):[4, 6]]]

  Another example:

      def sql = groovy.sql.Sql.newInstance(/* ... */)
       def data = sql.rows("SELECT * FROM a_table").groupBy([{ it.column1 }, { it.column2 }, { it.column3 }])
       if (data.val1.val2.val3) {
           // there exists a record where:
           //   a_table.column1 == val1
           //   a_table.column2 == val2, and
           //   a_table.column3 == val3
       } else {
           // there is no such record
       }

  If an empty list of closures is supplied the IDENTITY Closure will be used.
  Parameters:
    `self` - a collection to group
    `closures` - a list of closures, each mapping entries on keys
  Returns:
    a new Map grouped by keys on each criterion

### groupBy

    public static java.util.Map groupBy(java.util.Map self, java.util.List closures)

  Groups the members of a map into sub maps determined by the supplied mapping closures. Each closure will be passed a Map.Entry or key and value (depending on the number of parameters the closure accepts) and should return the key that each item should be grouped under. The resulting map will have an entry for each 'group path' returned by all closures, with values being the map members from the original map that belong to each such 'group path'.

  If the `self` map is one of TreeMap, Hashtable, or Properties, the returned Map will preserve that type, otherwise a LinkedHashMap will be returned.

      def result = [a:1,b:2,c:3,d:4,e:5,f:6].groupBy([{ it.value % 2 }, { it.key.next() }])
       assert result == [1:[b:[a:1], d:[c:3], f:[e:5]], 0:[c:[b:2], e:[d:4], g:[f:6]]]

  If an empty list of closures is supplied the IDENTITY Closure will be used.
  Parameters:
    `self` - a map to group
    `closures` - a list of closures that map entries on keys
  Returns:
    a new map grouped by keys on each criterion

    public static java.util.List plus(java.util.List self, int index, java.lang.Object[] items)

  Creates a new List by inserting all of the elements in the given additions List to the elements from the original List at the specified index. Shifts the element currently at that index (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (increasing their indices). The new elements will appear in the resulting List in the order that they occur in the original lists. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the original lists are modified while the operation is in progress. The original lists remain unchanged.

       def items = [1, 2, 3]
       def newItems = items.plus(2, 'a'..'c')
       assert newItems == [1, 2, 'a', 'b', 'c', 3]
       assert items == [1, 2, 3]

  See also `addAll` for similar functionality with modify semantics, i.e. which performs the changes on the original list itself.
  Parameters:
    `self` - an original List
    `additions` - a List containing elements to be merged with elements from the original List
    `index` - index at which to insert the first element from the given additions List
  Returns:

  Sorts the given iterator items into a sorted iterator. The items are assumed to be comparable. The original iterator will become exhausted of elements after completing this method call. A new iterator is produced that traverses the items in sorted order.
  Parameters:
    `self` - the Iterator to be sorted

### sort

    public static java.lang.Object[] sort(java.lang.Object[] self, boolean mutate, java.util.Comparator comparator)

  Sorts the given iterator items into a sorted iterator using the Closure to determine the correct ordering. The original iterator will be fully processed after the method call. If the closure has two parameters it is used like a traditional Comparator. I.e. it should compare its two parameters for order, returning a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer when the first parameter is less than, equal to, or greater than the second respectively. Otherwise, the Closure is assumed to take a single parameter and return a Comparable (typically an Integer) which is then used for further comparison.
  Parameters:
    `self` - the Iterator to be sorted
    `closure` - a Closure used to determine the correct ordering
  Returns:
    the sorted items as an Iterator

  Returns a new map containing the first `num` elements from the head of this map. If the map instance does not have ordered keys, then this function could return a random `num` entries. Groovy by default uses LinkedHashMap, so this shouldn't be an issue in the main.

       assert shopping.takeWhile{ it.value % 2 } == [milk:1]
       assert shopping.takeWhile{ k, v -> k.size() + v <= 7 } == [milk:1, bread:2]

  If the map instance does not have ordered keys, then this function could appear to take random entries. Groovy by default uses LinkedHashMap, so this shouldn't be an issue in the main.
  Parameters:
    `self` - a Map
    `condition` - a 1 (or 2) arg Closure that must evaluate to true for the entry (or key and value) to continue taking elements
