Base64 encoding in Java / Groovy

What is the proper way to convert a byte [] to a Base64 string in Java? Better yet would be Grails / Groovy because it tells me that the encodeAsBase64() function is deprecated. The sun.misc.BASE64Encoder package isn't recommended for use and outputs a different size string on some Windows platforms.

  • Apache Commons has many utilities:
