Like all sane Java-using programs, Groovy seems to be perfectly happy with a 64-bit JDK. In the shell I have been using for my UNO-testing:

Patricia@Jan2014Desktop /cygdrive/c/OpenOfficeDev/GroovyUNO/test
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_71

which is a 64-bit release 8 JDK.

I'll do some tests and enhance the instructions to deal with JAVA_HOME. We also need explicit instructions on installing Groovy and Gradle so that people who are not already familiar with them can do the tests.

I am having a different kind of difficulty.  I think this experience is more for the

  1. I chose to use the Groovy 2.4.6 Windows Installer (.exe).

  2. I do have a JRE and a JDK installed, but there is a confusing report, as 
if Groovy can't find it or is not clear which to use.  (I think I have both 
32-bit and a 64-bit installed.)

  3. Although there is a report that JAVA_HOME needs to be set (it isn't), 
Groovy does find the JRE anyhow.  I think that is because it defaulted to 
32-bit for the install.

  4. The installer sets the search path for Groovy incorrectly.  I am going to 
correct the search path and see how much farther I can get.

  5. I will report some of this to Apache Groovy.

Meanwhile, this awkward since my goal is not to become adept with Groovy and 
Gradle but to see if I can reproduce the tests and confirm the Release 
Candidate.  It is difficult to be confident in what I am doing.
