Using NB200807291401 I see the following issues with the Groovy Options dialog: 1) Groovy should be first tab in options panel For two reasons: a) Groovy is the basis, and Grails is built on top of Groovy. b) Many people use Groovy, but not Grails (for instance, as a replacement for shell scripts...) 2) Each time I close the options panel without specifying a Grails directory I get "This seems to be no Grails directory" warning dialog. It is annoying to have Grails shoved into my face like that, when I don't want to have to do anything with it, I only want Groovy. 3) There is no hint as what to enter into the Groovy Doc: text field. 4) There is no help button and no help (which aggravates 3)). Add 3) I found by trial and error that I can <groovy_install_dir>\html put there without getting a warning. If Groovy has been installed using the Windows installer the documentation is always installed there. It should be easy to autodetect the documentation folder. Although I have the JDK (1.6.0) docs installed, CC still says it cannot find the GDK/JDK docs if a method from the JDK is selected in the code completion window.
*** Issue 143100 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Any idea why the code completion refuses to work with GDK/JDK methods although the docs are installed? My impression is that this bug shouldn't require too much effort to be fixed.
Matthias, can you please have a look. I think you'll know most of the answers.
After the overhaul of the Configuration-dialog and the move into the "Miscellaneous" category most of this issue seems to be resolved or obsolete. Please open additional, more fine-grained handles if needed.
