according to 
https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/wiki/Groovy-Eclipse-Maven-plugin you 
need to define a dependency for groovy-eclipse-batch as well

</plugin> but this results in an error when a Java class is referencing
a Groovy class in the project.

where did you store your java and groovy source files?

I am not using eclipse. What are the
neccesary steps to get Groovy to work *seamlessly in a Groovy project in
2016* ? What are the limitations? Thanks!

you can always try the gmavenplus plugin... or migrate to gradle, it 
works much better there for me ;)
