I'm giving a presentation to a Java User's Group on Groovy and I'm going to be doing some coding during the presentation to show some side-by-side Java/Groovy. I really like the GroovyConsole as it's simple and I can resize the text easily.
I'm wondering if there is anything similar for Java? I know I could just use Eclipse but I'd rather have a smaller app to use without having to customize a view. What's the community got?
Screen shot of GroovyConsole:
The Groovy Web Console is a website for sharing and executing Groovy programming snippets of code!
What is Java Console? Java Console is a simple debugging aid that redirects any System. out and System. err to the console window. It is available for applets running with Java Plug-in and applications running with Java Web Start.
You can also open Groovy script file by using File > Open menu and the script will loaded in the input area. Then you can run loaded script.
DrJava is your best bet. It also has an Eclipse plugin to use the interactions pane like GroovyConsole.
