Hi Pawan, I had to carry out one more step to get your solution to work for me.
I'm running IntelliJ Ultimate 2020.3.1. I find that I get asked to configure a Groovy SDK for the first groovyScript file that I open in the IDE for any particular module. I tried two Groovy SDKs, 'Gradle: org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.5.11' and 'groovy-3.0.7' that I already had installed locally. Choosing the SDKs didn't allow me to navigate to java source files. However in the case of the non-gradle provided Groovy SDK (3.07) I could add additional sources to the library. Adding the ofbiz-framework project directory as a location of the groovy-3.0.7 library's sources meant I could navigate to java classes and methods from groovy scripts. I've since downloaded and installed groovy-2.5.11 and created a global SDK for it along with ofbiz-framework sources, however I still have to configure each module for use with the library manually. Further, re-importing the gradle build resets the libraries configured for the project, meaning I have manually reconfigure the Groovy SDK for use with a groovyScript the first time I open that module. I tried to come up with some pros and cons for the global library approach when working in IntelliJ. PRO: - No modification to the gradle build configuration for the purpose of IDE support. - No complications with ensuring the groovyScripts build step is skipped. CON: - Developer needs to manually install groovy, rather than use the version automatically included with ofbiz-framework as a dependency. - Developer needs to configure the library with ofbiz-framework source directories, and ensure the list of directories is refreshed from time to time. - Developer should keep installed groovy version in sync with version used by ofbiz-framework. - Developer needs to manually select the groovy SDK to use with a groovyScript, and reselect the SDK following any import of the gradle build by the IDE. If possible, I'd rather describe the gradle build in such a way as the IDE can configure itself with all dependencies it needs rather than have the developer manually apply (and repeatedly re-apply) configuration. Pawan, if you are not experiencing the CONs I've listed, please let me know as there may be some configuration item in IntelliJ I've missed somewhere. Thanks, Dan.
