Groovy - extension structure

Question

I would like to expand the method String asTypefor processing LocalDateTime. I know how to override this method, but I have no idea where I have to put it in the project structure to work around the world - for all the lines in my project. Is it enough to distribute such an extension wherever there is a path to the class? I know that there is a special convention for extensions (META-INF / services), how does it work to override a method?
