The Groovy-Eclipse team is proud to announce the release of Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.0. This is the first release that includes Groovy 2.0 final and that is available on Eclipse 4.2 (Juno). Now that Eclipse 4.2 is released, we will be dropping our Eclipse 3.6 support.
You can use the following update sites to install this release:
 | Groovy-Eclipse update site for Eclipse 4.2 and 3.7 For Eclipse 4.2: For Eclipse 3.7: |
The Groovy 2.0 compiler is not installed by default. If you want to install it, you can do so from the Extra Compilers category in the update site.
And a zipped version of the update site is available at:
| Zipped Groovy-Eclipse update site for Eclipse 4.2 and 3.7 For Eclipse 4.2: For Eclipse 3.7: You can install from the zip by pointing your Eclipse update manager to the downloaded zip file and following the installation instructions. Do not unzip into your Eclipse dropins folder. |
Doc hovers with @link and @see
Doc hovers now respect the @link and @see JavaDoc tags, so you can add them to your DSLDs and users will be able to follow proper links to other parts of the source code:

Selectively Allow AST Transforms to run during reconciling (i.e., in the editor)
Groovy-Eclipse now recognizes a system property that describes which AST transforms should run during reconciling (i.e., in the editr while typing—all AST transforms run during a regular compile).
(system property and code snippet)
If this feature is popular and gets good feedback, we will allow the setting of the system property through a preference dialog and allow each project to use their own settings. Please vote on the issue at GRECLIPSE-XXXXXXX. (GRECLIPSE-1406)
