You can now freely mix groovy and java: there will be java stubs generated for groovy, and javac will be triggered for this superset of java and stubs, at the next stage groovyc will compile real groovy code.

Great news ! What do you mean by JetBrains has contributed a big part of this release with improved compiler which now supports Java and Groovy ?

Does it mean that IDEA will be aware of classes defined in groovy, and Java aware of groovy classes, and that there will be no compilation dependencies problems ? For now I use to have three separate code trees : pure groovy, pure Java, and an interop source tree where I define interfaces for objects that are used in both groovy code and java code, which is rather annoying. That would be great, but would mean that projets would use this compiler for Java code instead of the regular JDK one ? is this right ?

Thx.

Awesome work guys! I use Groovy sporadically to supplement by Java development but I will use it a lot more now that IDEA supports it.
