Smooks and Groovy import question

[bglasco1]

The documentation states:

Add imports using the appropriately-named imports element. A number of classes are automatically imported.

I need to access groovy.time.* package in smooks is there a way to import it? Or do I need to do a resource groovy class?

Do you have schema based auto-completion in your IDE?  Look at the schema for the groovy scripting extension and you'll see that it supports an <imports> element into which you drop the imports (just like in a java class): http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/groovy-1.1.xsd

Example...

<smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd" 
                      xmlns:g="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/groovy-1.1.xsd">

    <g:groovy executeOnElement="category">
        <g:imports>
            import com.acme.blah.Blah;
            import groovy.time.*;
        </g:imports>
        <g:script>
            <!--
            // Groovy scriptlet goes here...
            -->
        </g:script>
    </g:groovy>

</smooks-resource-list>
