@Tom,
Thanks
Is netbeans now going to provide support for freemarker??
Is it possible to create a Goovy non-Grails project??? As far as I can see the only type of Groovy project available is a Grails one! I do not yet know Groovy and would rather start small with a simple Groovy Hello World before I dive into Grails.
@farouk,
Can you elaborate more on that? There’s one FAQ[1] on Freemarker use in NetBeans, does this help?

@Art B,
Yes, its possible!
True!

Thanks for the link! However, that is definitely a usability blunder not to have a “Groovy Project” that sets the build options correctly. Shouldn’t take much work on their part and would be ahuge improvement. That said I’m off to play about with Groovy now, thanks!

I feel you missed reading this point,
Hope this improves your understanding of Groovy and its support in NetBeans IDE.
