Groovy NetBeans Plugins Updated
posted Thursday, 1 November 2007
| Geertjan has made available a new version of Groovy support for NetBeans. There are five plugins that will provide NetBeans 6.0 Beta 2 (you need this version of NetBeans according to the notes) support for Groovy. Read Geertjan's blog for more information on this. If you are interested in the source code - Geertjan has made this available here . |  | The features included are the following :
| - | File templates. | | - | Syntax coloring for keywords and strings. | | - | Code fold for classes. | | - | Run script support via JSR 223, by right-clicking inside Groovy script, with output and error messages written to the NetBeans Output window. | | - | No need to register a Groovy distribution anywhere. No need to download the Groovy distribution at all. The modules take care of everything internally. | | - | Cool keyboard shortcuts, such as move/copy up/down (via Alt-Shift-Up/ Down and Ctrl-Shift-Up/Down). | | - | Project Properties panel for Java Applications has a panel called 'Groovy', where you can let the IDE generate an Ant script for groovyc and an Ant script for Groovydoc. | | - | Groovy Library in the Library Manager. | | - | Java-oriented code completion, code templates, and surround-with. | | - | Icon for Groovy files is same as Java files. | | - | Brace completion (e.g., when you type "(", you will automatically get ")", same is true for other types of braces). | | - | Brace matching: put the cursor on one brace and you will see its matching brace highlighted and, if there is no matching brace, the first will be marked in red. |
