Compiling Groovy with Groovy Eclipse Plugin

There are several possible ways to configure Groovy Eclipse Plugin - see official http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy-Eclipse+compiler+plugin+for+Maven page.

Our recommendation is to use configuration similar to the following:

Source layout

  • keep Java in src/main/java and src/test/java
  • keep Groovy in src/main/groovy and src/test/groovy
  • do not define Groovy source locations for maven-compiler-plugin directly, e.g.:
    <sourceDirectory>src/main/groovy</sourceDirectory>
    <testSourceDirectory>src/test/groovy</testSourceDirectory>
  • instead of this use:

    • extensions=true for groovy-eclipse-compiler (Maven 3) or

    • build-helper-maven-plugin to define additional source roots (Maven 2)

In the build log you'll find messages like:

[INFO] Adding /src/test/groovy to the list of test source folders

 

Maven 2 POM

Build life cycle extension (used by groovy-eclipse-compiler) is not supported in Maven 2.x. Therefore, you can add source locations via build-helper-maven-plugin.

In the build log you'll find messages like:

[INFO] [build-helper:add-source {execution: add-source}]
[INFO] Source directory: c:\MyProject\src\main\groovy added.
...
[INFO] [compiler:compile {execution: default-compile}]

[INFO] [build-helper:add-test-source {execution: add-test-source}]
[INFO] Test Source directory: c:\MyProject\src\test\groovy added.
...
[INFO] [compiler:testCompile {execution: default-testCompile}]

Build Command

Run your build with Clover using a following command (Maven 2 & 3):

mvn clean clover2:setup install clover2:aggregate clover2:clover

 

Tips

  • Note that it's possible to bind Clover goals to build phases using the <executions> tag in pom.xml. See Clover-for-Maven 2 and 3 User's Guide, "Running goals via pom.xml" chapter. Just ensure that clover2:setup goal is called in the process-sources phase the latest.

 

Troubleshooting

Bug Warning for Clover 3.1.11 and older

Because of bug CLOV-1144 (fixed in 3.1.12) you have to keep your *.groovy files not in the location for Java code. If you put your Groovy sources into src/main/java or src/test/java (and this is unfortunately suggested solution on Groovy-Eclipse+compiler+plugin+for+Maven official page), you will end up with an error message like below:

 

[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
...
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.atlassian.maven.plugins:maven-clover2-plugin:3.1.7:setup (default-cli) 
...
Clover has failed to instrument the source files in the [C:\MyProject\target\clover\src-instrumented] directory at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:217) ... [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoExecutionException *** ERROR: No source files specified USAGE: com.cenqua.clover.CloverInstr [OPTIONS] PARAMS [FILES...] ...
