- - ### Field Detail

    - #### @Deprecated public static final Map<String, GroovyRunner> RUNNER_REGISTRY

      Reference to the Runtime Registry to be used by the Groovy run-time system to find classes capable of running scripts

      deprecated:
        use GroovyRunnerRegistry

  - ### Property Detail

    - #### boolean keepJavaMetaClasses

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public static MetaClassRegistry getMetaClassRegistry()

    - #### public static String getShortVersion()

      Returns the major and minor part of the groovy version excluding the point/patch part of the version. E.g. 2.5.7, 2.5.8-SNAPSHOT, 2.5.9-rc-1 all have 2.5 as the short version.

      Since:
        2.5.10

    - #### public static String getVersion()

      Returns the groovy version

    - #### public static boolean isKeepJavaMetaClasses()

    - #### @Deprecated public static boolean isUseReflection()

    - #### public static void setKeepJavaMetaClasses(boolean keepJavaMetaClasses)

    - #### public static void stopThreadedReferenceManager()

      This method can be used to ensure that no threaded created by a reference manager will be active. This is useful if the Groovy runtime itself is loaded through a class loader which should be disposed off. Without calling this method and if a threaded reference manager is active the class loader cannot be unloaded! Per default no threaded manager will be used.

        1.6
