I thought I'd put down on 'paper' the things I've been looking at in relation to Groovy and providing an editor for it. By 'editor' I mean primarily 'syntax coloring', 'code folding', 'code completion', and 'navigator support'. Secondarily I mean 'run' functionality and 'console integration'. The key to everything in the primary section in relation to NetBeans is Schliemann. Fortunately, a Schliemann file for Java already exists (here), so since Groovy is a superset of Java, let's not reinvent the wheel. Let's just take the Java NBS file, adapt it to our purposes, and add whatever functionality we'd like to provide. That should work, all things being equal (though they seldom are or seem to be), one would think.
