Eclipse + NetBeans = Groovy
One of the absolute highlights of my trip to the Grails eXchange last week was... hanging out with Scott Hickey, the main developer of the Groovy plugin for Eclipse. Here's a pic of us in a bar after the first day at the conference; you can't see all the other people around, nor the Black Sheep beer (because I think we were still waiting for it) and the reason that the pic is so grainy is that I couldn't get my flash to work, which was because I had my camera set to 'movie' instead of 'photo', so that I now have a few very short movies, from which I cut the pic below, Scott on the left and me on the right:
It was very cool to talk about Groovy and plugins and IDEs, Scott's insights (as recorded in this blog last week, about debugging Groovy via the Java debugger and about compiling and running Groovy via Ant in NetBeans IDE) were just really practical. Thanks Scott, hope to meet up again soon!
