I chose Groovy after evaluating alternatives because: a) I like the meta-programming features; b) it integrates natively with the JVM and can be called using JSR-223; c) good IDE support; d) thriving, very helpful community. I don't use Python; and at the time I was making my choice for Platypus, Jython was essentially dead. As to the IDEs, I have consistently praised Oracle JDeveloper. If you google my name and JDeveloper, you'll see the coverage I've given it over the years. My opinions regarding it have remained the same.Andrew Binstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321156191558412680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9620948.post-42737428478577670872009-07-26T12:15:19.341-07:002009-07-26T12:15:19.341-07:00hi,

It's called "Making Java Groovy," and is primarily about Groovy/Java integration. There will be chapters ranging from testing to build processes to web services and more. I know this book is in progress, because I'm the (co-)author. :)<br /><br />The book is due late this year, hopefully for a January release. Feel free to contact me (ken dot kousen at kousenit dot com) if you have any questions or comments about it.<br /><br />Ken KousenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9620948.post-1759327134929424382009-07-26T07:30:28.087-07:002009-07-26T07:30:28.087-07:00Bbased on the early beta release chapters , I thin...Bbased on the early beta release chapters , I think Dave Klein's Grails will be the best one yet when it releases next month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
