null if the specified class is from JDKAdds a "metaClass" property to all class objects so you can use the syntax
String.metaClass.myMethod = { println "foo" }
Special 'Case' implementation for Class, which allows testing
whether some switch value is assignable from the given case class.
If the switch value is an object, isCase will return true if the
switch value is assignment compatible with the class (case value),
i.e. is an instanceof the class, for example:
def someList = []
switch (someList) {
case List:
assert true : 'is a list'
break
case Map:
assert false : 'is not a Map'
break
default:
assert false : 'should never get here'
break
}
If the switch value is a class, isCase will return true if the
switch value is assignable from the given class (case value), i.e. the case class
is the same as, or a superclass, or a super-interface of the switch class, for example:
switch (ArrayList) {
case List:
assert true : 'is a list'
break
case Map:
assert false : 'is not a Map'
break
default:
assert false : 'should never get here'
break
}

Helper to construct a new instance from the given arguments.
The constructor is called based on the number and types in the
args array. Use newInstance(null) or simply
newInstance() for the default (no-arg) constructor.
