--- Comment #6 from Mikolaj Izdebski <mizdebsk@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I want to highlight that this package does NOT follow packaging guidelines.

Groovy is already packaged for Fedora (package name "groovy") and I am a
co-maintainer.

I perfectly understand that there is a need to maintain two versions of Groovy
because some packages need version 2.x and some need 1.x and these two lines
are incompatible.  But in this case groovy18 should be packaged as a
compatibility package and follow packaging guidelines for compat packages [1]. 
This means that all JAR and POM files MUST be versioned (have -%{version}
suffix).  If this rule is not followed then installing both groovy and groovy18
can lead to non-obvious errors during build or runtime of dependant packages.

I would like to ask you to fix and re-review the package to follow the
guidelines in [1].
