I’ve installed the Groovy plugin for Eclipse, but the Groovy project icon doesn’t show up when I try to create a new project. There is no Groovy folder when I click “Other” either. The install process finishes without any visible problems and everything seems alright. The plugin also shows up among the installed plugins.
I’m using the 32-bit Eclipse IDE for Java Developers v3.7 on Windows Vista and the http://dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e3.7/ version of the Groovy plugin.
I think I figured it out, I installed Springsource ToolSuite which comes with Groovy from the beginning but it complained that I had installed it in the Program Files directory. So I went back and installed the original Eclipse for Java Developers in my User folder and violá – it works!
