Question

I’m currently writing some groovy scripts. Till now I simply use notepad and run the scripts via groovy script.groovy. But I’m looking some help for editing the files. So I tried eclipse with the groovy plugin which looks great…for groovy projects. But I just want to edit and run the groovy scripts. No Project dir etc.. What’s the best way to handle scripts in eclipse. I don’t want to package the files to jars or something like that. I have just a folder with some scripts in it… No src/bin directory or subfolders for package names. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Ingo

You must convert your project to a Groovy project (right-click project: Configure > Convert to Groovy Project), but then, sure, it’s possible.

When editing a .groovy file, select Run > Run as ... > Groovy Script
