Jira Groovy script to send a mail to Jira groups

Sometimes we need to schedule some mails to be sent to different groups of Jira. For example, for worklog compliance, or similar cases.

For this reason in Jira we usually create Services to do these tasks.

We cannot send mails directly to groups, but with a simple script we can obtain the mail list of members of the Jira groups (or Ldap groups) and use it to send the mail.

We can combine with some pieces of code to operate with the current DATE_TIME
