Re: Integrating Groovy with a Java EE application and Maven

[Mr Andersson]

I have gotten a bit further in my research and came up with this sample 
project which uses ant to compile the groovy classes but I can't get 
them to compile together.

To be able to have cyclic dependencies between Java and Groovy files.
Here is a standalone isolated maven project that contains everything:
