debugging groovy

I see that starting back in 2007, people have been asking for a Groovy debugger.  Any progress on this?  It's been nine years . . .

    Here is what I prefer:

    • When the script is small, it would be easy to find issue if any.
    • When the script is bigger, then prefer to model it into class/methods, implement it, compile and create jar. Use IDE to implement your model class(Intellij or eclipse with groovy plugin or java). Then instantiate that class and call the method from soapui groovy test script.

     

    This way, you will be able to do the remote debug from soapui to IDE.

      I have done very little Groovy development.  What IDE would you recommend for Groovy?

      Thanks.

        IntelljIDEA is good. Eclipse also has a plugin. you can try and which you prefer.
