Attendees

Been working on Spring Security Core this week
Locating some artifacts that we missed moving to Artifactory
- Once this is done, we will remove the bintray remote from Artifactory to see if we missed any other packages
There are some artifacts on bintray that are not accessible from repo.grails.org like source jars
- James: What do you mean they aren't accessible?
- Puneet: They are present but using artifactory you can't retrieve them
- James: I think we should contact JFrog and let them know and ask what is going on
- Puneet: I'll do that
Looking into if TraitInjector should be deprecated in favor of @Enhances
- James: Is that part of the public API?
- Puneet: Here are the docs: https://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/traits.html#traitsprovided
- James: Does @Enhances accept an array?
- Puneet: Yeah, an array of String values
- James: Then I think we can deprecate TraitInjector
- Puneet: I'd like to understand what it does a bit better first.
- James: There are probably a number of things that could be deprecated
- Puneet: Do you have anything at the top of your mind?
- James: For example, we supply a lot of config in new applications and one of the ways we got around breaking things is to provide a configuration value that overrides some default. I think we could take some of those values and make them the default values. It would be good if new applications don't require a lot of configuration.
