Jaroslav Tulach updated NETBEANS-5992:
--------------------------------------
Description:
NetBeans IDE has a tradition of using the real compiler for each language to
provide the best user experience in its editor. A famous example is
[nb-javac|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+nb-javac]
- NetBeans fork of the *javac* compiler. Using the real compiler allowed
NetBeans to keep the WYSIWYG experience (the errors reported in the editor are
exactly the same as on command line or continuous integration) with relatively
low effort. However maintaining a fork turned out to be costly and we are
looking forward to reuse *javac* unmodified. With Groovy, we'd like to do even
better. We want to contribute IDE related fixes to the Groovy compiler to begin
with!
This issue is an umbrella collecting various issues filed against Groovy.
Fixing them would make the user experience of using of Groovy in the NetBeans
IDE and derivatives better, richer, easier to use, faster to gain response and
overall more reliable.
Some of the reported issues may feel strange from a plain Groovy point of view.
Please take into account that the IDE needs to compute all the info without
running the user code. As such it turns on the
was:
Umbrella issue, that could help to collect dependent errors filed in Groovy.
Maybe it could be split to an issue tracking possible improvements and an issue
that tracks improvment necessary for the next release.
