Comments on: Groovy and IDEA, a mixed blessing [Updated] http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/03/28/groovy-and-idea-a-mixed-blessing/ Productivity in software development Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:21:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Sam http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/03/28/groovy-and-idea-a-mixed-blessing/#comment-19506 Sam Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:38:05 +0000 http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/03/28/groovy-and-idea-a-mixed-blessing/#comment-19506 I agree with you on the situation with Groovy and IDEA. The current plugin is virtually worthless and using notepad would be almost as effective an IDE as IDEA at this point. Hopefully the IntelliJ development team will take this more seriously since it's becoming clear that Groovy will be the most popular choice of scripting languages used by Java developers who have to continue to code with Java as well. Only people who are looking to drop Java entirely are looking at other languages like Ruby. I agree with you on the situation with Groovy and IDEA.

We are no longer actively developing the Scala plugin, and the team responsible for it is now working on a new Groovy plugin. Right now the work is at a very early stage, and we don't have any definite release plans or timeline. But the work does proceed quite actively, and just like the Ruby and Scala plugins, the Groovy plugin is developed under an open-source license. I'm sure that the guys working on the plugin will be happy to accept code contributions once the plugin is a bit more mature and stable. Hi Stephan,
