Groovy on NetBeans again
June 15, 2008 | In Uncategorized |I tried installing Groovy support in Netbeans 6.1 on Windows and failed. I tried again on my Mac today but got this:

Should I stop trying? There where a lot of blog posts about Groovy support in NetBeans 6.1 before it was released, but is it really a supported feature?

I hope it will improve and the plugin will be integrated into Netbeans 6.2. (once stable). Netbeans has really improved and it’s typically the kind of feature that will make me leave Eclipse.

Yes, Netbeans has become my IDE of choice since 6.0 was released. One reason is that it seems to be better supported than Eclipse on Mac. Eclipse looks wierd.
I just think they shouldn’t have blogged and talked about the Groovy support when it’s in fact not useable yet.
