Distributions

Distributions are bundles of source or class files needed to build or use Groovy.

All Apache projects provide a source zip which lets anyone build the software from scratch. If any doubt arises, you can regard the source zip as the authoritative artifact for each release. We also provide binary, downloadable documentation and SDK (combines src, binary and docs) convenience artifacts. You can also find a link to a non-ASF Windows installer convenience executable (if available).

Verification

We provide OpenPGP signatures ('.asc') files and checksums for every release artifact. We recommend that you verify the integrity of downloaded files by generating your own checksums and matching them against ours and checking signatures using the KEYS file which contains the OpenPGP keys of Groovy's Release Managers across all releases.
