Groovy IntelliSense for Visual Studio Code

The Groovy-Guru extension provides rich language support for the Groovy programming language, using the Groovy Language Server. You can also install Groovy-Guru using the Jenkins Extension Pack, which is a must have when developing pipelines for Jenkins.

Quick Start

Welcome! 👋🏻
Whether you are new to Groovy or an experienced Groovy developer, we hope this extension fits your needs and enhances your development experience.

• Step 1. If you haven't done so already, install Java 1.8 aka 8 and the VS Code Groovy extension.
  • Managing extensions in VS Code.
• Step 2. To activate the extension, open any directory or workspace containing Groovy code and look for the thumbs up! 👍
  

You are ready to get Groovy :-)    🎉🎉🎉

Features

The extension is currently a work-in-progress but does provide basic IntelliSense. We plan to extend this extension to include code navigation and code editing.

• Code completion and Signature help
• See GroovyDoc strings on Classes, Fields, Methods and Functions.
