Why is groovy-aware syntax highlighting not working?
A. The most likely cause for this is that you are editing your groovy file in a Java editor. Look at the editor icon. Is it a groovy icon or a java icon? If it is a Java icon, you can change to a groovy editor like this: • close the editor. • right click on the file • Select Open With -> Groovy Editor Also, please note that lines with multiple slashes are sometimes interpreted as regular expressions when they shouldn’t be (see GRECLIPSE-124).
