I work in a company that uses Jenkins as a CI server. Our infrastructure was growing and we were automating it using some Groovy scripts. Sometimes we have situations where we need to read some build information from Jenkins or download artifacts or trigger some builds. I want to put all those pieces of code into something re-usable.

I noticed that something was really strange in Grails project I worked on. When I found out what is going on I couldn’t believe my eyes. Groovy do not respect local final variables. Yes, I really mean that, do not respect, not at all.

That is my first post in this blog. In this post I would like to introduce myself, explain the idea of this blog, share some plans etc.
