Better inferencing of Enums
What did I mean here???
Statically imported fields and methods
Statically imported fields and methods are now available from content assist and in the inferencing engine. See GRECLIPSE-698 for more information.
Organize imports improvements
Organize imports in Groovy scripts now respects the settings in Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Organize Imports. Imports are sorted appropriately and grouped according to preferences. Also, semi-colons are now automatically removed. GRECLIPSE-489
Outline view for binary Groovy types
When binary Groovy types are shown in the outline view and the package explorer all synthetic methods and fields are filtered from the view. GRECLIPSE-865
Bookmarks
It is now possible to add a bookmark in a Groovy file by right-clicking on the editor ruler and selecting Add Bookmark.... GRECLIPSE-853
Content assist for Constructors
Content assist now includes appropriate constructors when invoked in front of a new keyword. GRECLIPSE-839
Improved semantic highlighting
Semantic highlighting now highlights field references, static references, and deprecated references. GRECLIPSE-869 GRECLIPSE-708
Create Groovy Script
The New Groovy Class wizard now has an option to create a Groovy script instead of a standard class. GRECLIPSE-485
Inferencing inside of closures
Type inferencing and content assist inside of closures now uses the type of calling method as the type of this. For example:
Hovering over this in the editor and the bubble will show that this is of type Foo.
