Description

Fix for GroovyClassLoader to allow it to detect changed sources for file:// urls:

<snip>
private boolean isSourceNewer(URL source, Class cls) throws IOException {
long lastMod;

//
// Special handling for file:// protocol, as getLastModified() often reports
// incorrect results (-1)
//
if (source.getProtocol().equals("file"))

{ // Coerce the file URL to a File String path = source.getPath().replace('/', File.separatorChar).replace('|', ':'); File file = new File(path); lastMod = file.lastModified(); }

else

{ lastMod = source.openConnection().getLastModified(); }

return lastMod > getTimeStamp(cls);
}
