Class StringBufferWriter

java.lang.Object

java.io.Writer

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringBufferWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Flushable, Appendable, AutoCloseable

public class StringBufferWriter
extends Writer

This class codes around a silly limiation of StringWriter which doesn't allow a StringBuffer to be passed in as a constructor for some bizarre reason. So we replicate the behaviour of StringWriter here but allow a StringBuffer to be passed in.
