Eclipse Groovy Tooling

The next major version of the Groovy Eclipse Plugin is built on a new builder technology, where the Eclipse JDT Compiler has been extended to seamlessly integrate groovy compilation.

During this session Andy will cover how this was done and what it means for a Groovy developer in Eclipse - particularly when mixing Java and Groovy in the same project. He will look at the new incremental compilation behaviour it enables and what other features of the Eclipse UI 'just work' because of the approach taken. Finally the session will touch on exploitation of this builder technology outside of eclipse for batch/Ant compilation.
