Out of interest is there anywhere to read why this is the case? (patches that can't be applied to the mainline).
Not wanting to rehash, just gain a little context if that's alright... -- David Dawson CEO Simplicity Itself Ltd Tel +7866011256 Skype davidadawson david.daw...@simplicityitself.com http://www.simplicityitself.com Original Message From: Cédric Champeau Sent: Tuesday, 7 April 2015 13:59 To: dev@groovy.incubator.apache.org Reply To: dev@groovy.incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: GGTS/ Eclipse support for the groovy ecosystem AFAIK, the Gradle plugin is independent from the Groovy one. While the latest snapshot is compatible with Groovy 2.4.3, it will not be for future versions of Groovy, because it effectively patches the compiler. This means that you will have to rely on an external tool like Gradle or Ant to compile Groovy code under Eclipse. But if there are fixes for syntax highlighting or errors from the compiler, they won't make it into Groovy Eclipse. And the Maven compiler is based on the Eclipse compiler too I think. Last, IDEA 14.1 now has the option to use the Eclipse compiler. Sounds like a bad timing, because they added the option just when there's nobody left to maintain the plugin... 2015-04-07 14:49 GMT+02:00 Russel Winder <rus...@winder.org.uk>: > On Mon, 2015-04-06 at 21:00 +0000, KARR, DAVID wrote: > > > […] > > > > I believe that this is exactly what is happening.
