I am not sure how many people use Emacs and the Emacs Groovy mode, but for all those that do a bit of news.
It has been decided that trying to make the Groovy mode do groovy things with the mode being based on CC Mode, is becoming impossible – there are features of Groovy that are effectively incompatible with the Java mode in CC Mode. Wilfred Hughes has made a start on what is effectively a new Groovy mode not based on CC mode. This will mean that all things are possible, at the expense of having to write more ELisp code. The Groovy Mode Git repository now has a new branch standalone_mode which has Wilfred's initial stab at separating Groovy mode from CC Mode. We need people to try it out, report back, file issues, submit pull requests, and generally get this into a state where it can be merged into master to become the official Groovy model. https://github.com/Groovy-Emacs-Modes/groovy-emacs-modes This new mode is not in MELPA, so people will have to uninstall Groovy mode if installed from MELPA, clone this repository, switch to standalone_mode branch and then do a symbolic link from their ~/.emacs.d directory to groovy.el so as to install the mode. This is a fairly standard set up so I am hoping isn't a big deal for people. There is no separate email list, so if we put [Emacs mode] in the subject with emails to this list those interested can read and those not can quickly delete. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
