We have a requirement in PRD that groovy should be backwards compatible in soa-P 5. However that's not completely possible because it was updated from 1.0 in 4.x series to 1.5.4

Here's what I got from the groovy list about compatibility:
-----
That isn't an easy question to answer. I imagine that the
bulk of programs written for 1.0 will run in 1.5.4 but there
were many changes to the language including a small number of
breaking changes - often in corner cases.

If you have some more specific questions about areas where
you are concerned, then we might be able to give you further
details.

Cheers, Paul King

I guess what we can do is document that some scripts may need minor changes to run.
