STS/GGTS with Groovy 1.6

**xristo** · Feb 21st, 2013, 10:05 AM

Hello,

we want to set up our grails project with Eclipse and GGTS. Unfortunately no GGTS version, even the older ones, do support Groovy 1.6 which our software does rely on.

What chances to we have? Usage of 1.7 compiler e.g. produces dozens of errors like:

Code:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.messages.SyntaxErrorMessage@12fbe81a

... or ..

Code:

/shop-1project/shop/grails-app/conf/__2F_shop_2D_1project_2F_shop_2F_grails_2D_app_2F_views_2F_standardShop_2F_home_2E_gsp.groovy: 6 Groovy:Invalid duplicate class definition of class __2F_shop_2D_1project_2F_shop_2F_grails_2D_app_2F_views_2F_standardShop_2F_home_2E_gsp : The source /home/cklein/Entwicklung/projekte/shop/shop/grails-app/conf/__2F_shop_2D_1project_2F_shop_2F_grails_2D_app_2F_views_2F_standardShop_2F_home_2E_gsp.groovy contains at least two definitions of the class __2F_shop_2D_1project_2F_shop_2F_grails_2D_app_2F_views_2F_standardShop_2F_home_2E_gsp.

... or ...

Code:

/shop-1project/shop/grails-app/services/de/bechtle/shop/service/controller/OrderHistoryService.groovy: 119 Groovy:cannot modify final field 'customerNumbers' outside of constructor.

NOTE: We definitively can not upgrade our software due to business reasons.

cklein

Hello Andrew.

Thank you very much for this quick reply.

Your advice sounds very promising. I'll give it try and give you a feedback afterwards.

Hello Andrew.

Indeed we do have trouble with your advice.

Sure we can install Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.2 but how do we get grails support then? You say grails support was in its infancy. Does that mean that it is not available at all for GRECLIPSE-2.0.2?

Furthermore you have posted links to the 2.5.0 release of the STS. We tried them but ran into dependency errors when installing the "Grails support" extension at the dashboard.

Code:

To: com.springsource.sts.feature.group [2.5.0,2.6.0)

Furthermore the "Groovy support" extension does not install the Groovy-1.6 compiler so we can't get along with that version anyway.

Code:

org.codehaus.groovy,1.7.10.xx-20120301-1300-e36-RELEASE,plugins/org.codehaus.groovy_1.7.10.xx-20120301-1300-e36-RELEASE/,4,false

What we need is actually a running version of STS/GGTS with a Groovy 1.6 compiler as a backend. Is that possible or not?

Unfortunately, you cannot use the extension page to install. Back in those days, we were not as good at keeping our update sites coherent for older versions.

Try this:

1. download and unzip STS 2.5.0
2. Use this update site to install Groovy-Eclipse: http://dist.springsource.org/release...0-0900-e36.zip
3. Use this update site to install Grails-IDE http://dist.springsource.com/release....RELEASE/e3.6/

The reason that you are not seeing the Groovy 1.6 compiler is that you are trying to install from the extensions page, which does not have the correct stuff in it.

Finally we performed an upgrade to Grails-1.3.9 with Groovy 1.7 thus I'm not gonna test this anymore.

That is a much better move. :-)
