  Factory |
  IFileNameFinder |
  ObjectGraphBuilder.ChildPropertySetter | Strategy for setting a child node on its parent.
  ObjectGraphBuilder.ClassNameResolver | Strategy for resolving a classname.
  ObjectGraphBuilder.IdentifierResolver | Strategy for picking the correct synthetic identifier.
  ObjectGraphBuilder.NewInstanceResolver | Strategy for creating new instances of a class.
  ObjectGraphBuilder.ReferenceResolver | Strategy for picking the correct synthetic reference identifier.

- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  AbstractFactory |
  BuilderSupport | Base class for creating arbitrary nested trees of objects or events.
  CharsetToolkit | Utility class to guess the encoding of a given text file.
  ClosureComparator | A Comparator which uses a closure to compare 2 values being equal
  ConfigBinding | Since Groovy Script doesn't support overriding setProperty, we use a trick with the Binding to provide this functionality
  ConfigObject | A ConfigObject at a simple level is a Map that creates configuration entries (other ConfigObjects) when referencing them.
  ConfigSlurper | ConfigSlurper is a utility class for reading configuration files defined in the form of Groovy scripts.
  DelegatingScript | Script that performs method invocations and property access like Closure does.
  Eval |
  Expando | Represents a dynamically expandable bean.
  FactoryBuilderSupport | Mix of BuilderSupport and SwingBuilder's factory support.
  FileNameByRegexFinder | Find files according to a base directory and an includes and excludes pattern.
  FileTreeBuilder | A builder dedicated at generating a file directory structure from a specification.
  GroovyCollections | A Collections utility class
  GroovyScriptEngine | Specific script engine able to reload modified scripts as well as dealing properly with dependent scripts.
  IndentPrinter | A helper class for printing indented text.
  MapEntry | A Map.Entry implementation.
  Node | Represents an arbitrary tree node which can be used for structured metadata or any arbitrary XML-like tree.
  NodeBuilder | A helper class for creating nested trees of Node objects for handling arbitrary data
  NodeList | A List implementation which is returned by queries on a Node which provides some XPath like helper methods for GPath.
  NodePrinter | A helper class for creating nested trees of data
  ObjectGraphBuilder | A builder for creating object graphs.
