Groovy-Eclipse for Helios

Today we released our first snapshot of a Groovy-Eclipse build for Eclipse 3.6 (Helios). We haven't set the continuous build system up yet, so for now if you are looking to try it out, you can download the zip here:

http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.6/groovy-update-site-e36.zip

And then point your p2 installer to the downloaded archive. You will then be able to install Groovy-Eclipse. We have only tested on 3.6 M6 and we will continue to ensure that it works on later milestones as they come out.

As always, your feedback is appreciated!

EDIT (June 30, 2010): the zip above is outdated and so I removed it. Please use the update site below instead:

  1. I get a 404 for that URL. Is it at some new place?

    Thanks!

    2) Installed Eclipse (for Java development)
    3) Tried to install Groovy feature

  4. Do you have a shared install? Ie- is your install directory writable?

    Please make sure that you can write in your install directory, otherwise it is unlikely that you will be able to install.

  6. On Windows 7, the Run as Groovy Shell command on the context menu dosn't work.

    Setting up a Run Configuration does work.
