Re: [groovy-user] dif between def obj = new MyObject() vs MyObject obj = new MyObject()

my bad...

both declare a local variable (when done in a method or script), only if 
you use MyObject, then Groovy guarantees you that any value assigned to 
foo will be at last of class MyObject at runtime. If this rule is 
violated, then Groovy will throw a runtime exception when the assignment 
is done. Since the root of all classes is Object using Object won't do 
anything special. "def" can be seen as alias for Object atm.
