After my first real encounter with Groovy I got really excited about it and decided to spend some of my personal training days to get more experience with Groovy. As study material I read the Programming Groovy book. While reading I really wanted to get my hands dirty, so as a study case I decided to solve one of my longest and biggest frustrations as a developer and that is working behind a proxy server. The idea I had is to create a groovy program that will allow to turn the proxy settings on or off for applications like (Maven, Subversion, Internet Explorer, Firefox and so on) by running a single command: groovy com/xebia/proxy/SwitchProxy on/off. Here is a short summary of some of the techniques I used while creating this program.
