I haven’t tried this but ‘cut & pasted’ from http://groovy.codehaus.org/Eclipse+Plugin – in a nutshell bin-groovy folder should be default output folder for your java application.

Create a Groovy Project

To create a basic Groovy project in Eclipse perform the following steps:

Go to: File -> New -> Project
Select Java Project and press Next
In the Project Name field enter the name of your project (GroovyJava for this example)
Under Project Layout select Create separate source and output folders and press Finish
In the Package Explorer find the newly created project, right click, and select Groovy -> Add Groovy Nature

So far you should have a src folder, a bin-groovy folder, and several libraries. There is also a bin folder that was created by Eclipse, but is hidden due to exclusion filters. The next steps are needed to make the bin-groovy folder the default output folder, and to connect it to the src folder so that the debugger will know where to find the associated source and classes:

In the Package Explorer, right click on the “GroovyJava” project, and select: Build Path -> Configure Build Path
Select the Source tab and then use the Browse button to change the Default Output Folder from bin to bin-groovy
Press OK, OK

This will expose the bin folder in the Package Explorer. I’m not sure why the plugin creates a bin-groovy directory. Perhaps there are other “bin” files that are best kept separate from the Groovy classes, or perhaps one of the original versions of Eclipse didn’t create a “bin” directory automatically. Some day when someone has a clear idea of the usefulness of this, or lack thereof, we can clean up my instructions.

Hi, I suggest that you post a request (if you’ve not done so already) to the Groovy mailing list regarding tools integration. Thanks,

Hello,

How can I use joint compilation with Eclipse IDE v3.3 or 3.4.

I am asking because Programming Groovy states that mixing both Groovy and Java code is allowed, although other authors suggest compileing Java src to the bin direcotory and Groovy src to bin-groovy directory, the default for GroovyEclipse plugin.

When I compile to the bin and bin-groovy directory, the imported, calling any compiled groovy class from a java class results in a ClassNotFoundException. How can this be corrected.
