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 Java 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 the 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 uses type checking and static compilation
heavily. It would be ideal if the IDE could just use the static compilation
info/errors and present it to the user.
