I don't think it would be necessary to add all the options already
available to the dialog, so initially I'd just see it having the
maxOutputChars setting.  Another option would be to add the setting under
the "View" menu and have it pop up a specialized dialog used to just
capture the maxOutputChars.  Not sure which is better, just sort of feels
like the existing menu is getting kind of crowded so that's why I was
initially thinking a general "Settings" dialog would a way to go.

I know IDEA provides a GroovyConsole and GroovyShell under the Tools menu
when Groovy is part of the project.

Re: Help with task: GroovyConsole improvement: configurable output area size

[Emilian Bold]

You initial dialog is a good start, but what should it hold: all the pref
keys from Console? Or just start with maxOutputChars?

The log file UI should be added once #8180 is done.

I never touched GroovyConsole before, but it seems interesting. Reminds me
of ANTLRWorks which I just used the other week for some small parser.

Also, this console would also make a fine IDE plugin. Any particular reason
GroovyConsole has to be standalone?

website changes

[Paul King]

I made a change to split the "Community" section of the website into
"Support" and "Contribute". This is in prep for the "Contribute" part
living on groovy.apache.org. Part of my change seems to be in place but
another part seems to be waiting on a gitpubsub trigger which doesn't seem
to have happened yet.

For the stuff you can see, the same content as existed before should still
be there - just slightly rearranged. Let me know if anything looks out of
place.

For the short-term you can find the missing page here:

http://groovy-lang.org/contribute.html

It has been manually copied into:

https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=groovy-website.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/asf-site

with some manual tweaks - but the goal will be to automate all steps.

Cheers, Paul.
P.S. The bulk of the groovy-lang.org site is still remotely hosted. The
split is a step towards moving it onto ASF infrastructure (with the same
URL).
