Description

Currently Groovy uses a specific format for its extension modules located under the name META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule .

The content is actually a property file with 4 entries:

• moduleName
• moduleVersion
• extensionClasses : a comma separated list of class names
• staticExtensionClasses : :a comma separated list of class names

A correct merge operation should merge the list extensionClasses and staticExtensionClasses

Such merge operation can be implemented as a resource transformer. It not require any of a specific Groovy class and can operate on plain property files.

I am willing to contribute this with tests as a resource transformer. In fact I already have an working implementation (quite trivial).
