What is a GROOVY file?

GROOVY files mostly belong to Eclipse by Eclipse Foundation. A GROOVY file is a script written in Groovy programming language. Groovy uses Java-compatible syntax. For this reason, most GROOVY scripts are valid JAVA scripts. A GROOVY script may be compiled and executed within a Java environment. You can create and edit a GROOVY script with code editors such as Sublime, Eclipse, and IntelliJ.

How do you open GROOVY files?

You need a suitable software like Eclipse to open a GROOVY file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your GROOVY file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GROOVY file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
