do you have a sample project?

Created attachment 145296 [details]
Maven project with a groovy class

This is the Maven project I created for the Test Case in Synergy:
http://services.netbeans.org/synergy/client/app/#/case/5293/suite/1512/v/1

There are a couple of things worth mentioning here:
1- When a Maven Java project is created it doesn't have a main class. Is this the normal case?
2- When I created a class with a main method, the project refused to work unless its refactored to the default naming with non-Maven Java projects.
3- If the Groovy class of the test case was created in Groovy packages, it can't be accessible from the main class created in the Java packages. I had to move it to the same package to run: succeeded on Ubuntu but still fails on Windows.

reassigning to groovy support, I'm not sure if the attached project setup is currently supported

Ye, that's normal.

Not sure I understand, what do you mean by "the project refused to work" ? What it does when you run project (or main class) ?

I tried it with simple project and running main class results in successful build and correct execution (note: I used New File -> Java Main Class, it is the same as you, right?).

Could you please describe me exact class (you can refer attached project) where you tried to use Groovy class and it didn't work ?


Sorry for so many questions but it seems that we are mixing few different things together here and I'm a bit confused because of that ;)

Hi,

and yes, I created a new Java main class using the new file dialog -> Java Main Class.

Regarding your last question, you can refer to the test specification in the link in my comment above and the attached zip file that contains the project I  created and has the problem (to help reproduce the bug).

Thanks :)
