<p>To use Groovy from inside jEdit download this</p>

<p><a class="external-link" href="http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?SuperScript" rel="nofollow">http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?SuperScript</a></p>

<p>. You'll need a fairly recent jEdit distribution.<br />
Right now BSF isn't yet released with inbuilt Groovy support so you have to add the following code to the startup script in
<br class="atl-forced-newline" /></p>
<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="code" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e2NvZGV9&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>
&lt;jedit.home>/startup/startup.bsh
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>You can also add a startup.bsh script into your home directory at</p>
<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="code" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e2NvZGV9&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>
&lt;user.settings.home>/.jedit/startup/startup.bsh
</pre></td></tr></table>
<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="code" data-macro-default-parameter="java" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e2NvZGU6amF2YX0&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>
org.apache.bsf.BSFManager.registerScriptingEngine(
  "groovy","org.codehaus.groovy.bsf.GroovyEngine",new String[]{"groovy","gv"}
);
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Also you'll need to copy the groovy-all-1.0-jsr-XXXX.jar file into the jedit/jars directory.</p>

<p>Restart jEdit.</p>

<p>Open SuperScript dockable from Plugins Menu or Dockable area and choose &quot;groovy&quot; from the languages dropdown.</p>

<p>To test if groovy works fine or not, just try running some expression in the textbox or open some groovy script in jEdit and try &quot;Executing Script&quot;.</p>

<h3>Alternative Groovy mode</h3>

<p>Oliver Rutherfurd has developed a Groovy mode for jEdit...</p>

<p><a href="http://www.rutherfurd.net/jEdit/modes/groovy.xml">http://www.rutherfurd.net/jEdit/modes/groovy.xml</a></p>
<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="code" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e2NvZGV9&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>
~/.jedit/catalog entry:

&lt;MODE NAME="groovy"    FILE="groovy.xml"
                        FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{groovy,grv}"/>
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The Groovy mode for jEdit is in the SVN since July, 9th 2004.<br />
It is included in standard jEdit setup.<br />
In order to know if you have this mode, check that the file &lt;jEdit_Home&gt;/modes/groovy.xml exists.</p>

<h3>Console Commando Plugin</h3>

<p>Instructions:<br />
1. Install Console plugin in jEdit.<br />
2. Copy the attachment on this wiki: groovy.xml into your $HOME/.jedit/console/commando/groovy.xml<br />
   (NOTE: I hardcoded my groovy path. Change it if it doesn't match yours.)<br />
3. jEdit Menu: Plugins&gt;Console&gt;Regen menu.<br />
4. jEdit Menu: Plugins&gt;Plugin Options..., On left pick<br />
Console&gt;Compile&amp;Run, Then select groovy file type and set your<br />
compiler/interpreter to &quot;groovy&quot; selection.</p>

<p>Now you may open up any groovy script and Run Commando..., Default F5<br />
will re-run the last command.</p>
