Greclipse 4.7.0 was released on September 30th 2022.

New and Noteworthy

Support for new versions of Groovy

  • Groovy 4.0.5
  • Groovy 3.0.13
  • Groovy 2.5.19

The new antlr4-based Parrot Parser is disabled by default. To enable it, add -Dgroovy.antlr4=true to your eclipse.ini file after the -vmargs line or add a compiler config script to your project with configuration.pluginFactory = org.codehaus.groovy.control.ParserPluginFactory.antlr4(). Please note that parser recovery is not implemented for the Parrot Parser, so your editing experience may be sub-par in this mode.

Support for new version of Eclipse

  • Eclipse 4.25 (2022-09)
