This plugin is not maintained anymore. Users interested in using IntelliJ IDEA to develop Groovy code should have a look at JetBrains' own Groovy and Grails plugin. For more information on this plugin, please visit the JetBrains JetGroovy plugin page.

With GroovyJ, we're aiming to offer full integration of Groovy into JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA.

Availability

The first public release of GroovyJ is available through IDEA's plug-in manager under the Custom Languages category and requires IDEA 5.0 build #3378 or higher, which you can download from the IntelliJ Early Access Program (EAP) site and use with a free and time-limited license. You will need to create an EAP account in order to download EAP builds.

We provide a few pages to help you track the status of the plug-in:

Releases

New versions of GroovyJ will be released through IntelliJ IDEA's Plug-in Repository and will be announced on the Plugins forum.

  • <USER_HOME>/.IntelliJIdea/config/filetypes (Unix/Windows)
  • ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJ IDEA/filetypes (Mac OSX)

you will need to shutdown IDEA and remove that file prior to downloading the plug-in.
