Groovy Compiler 1.7 - how to install it? eclipse indigo

Question

vvSo hi guys, im tryin to install groovy 1.7 plugin to my eclipse indigo but i can't..

I followed instructions on this page but unfortunetly it doesn't work.

What i mean by doesn't work? Even without installing 2.0 compiler i have it

After installing Groovy-Eclipse without the extra compilers, the Groovy 1.8 compiler is active by default. And the Groovy 2.0 compiler becomes active after installing the extra compiler.

And as it says i shouldn't have but well meaby its an old description. Then i'm goin to Preferences -> Groovy -> Compiler page, and guess what i can only switch to 1.8.6.xx-MORENUMBERS-e37-REALEASE . When i do i only can switch back to 2.0.7.xx-MORENUMBERS-e37-REALEASE .

So where is this 1.7 compiler because i dont see it there?

So i followed up with adding to eclipse.ini -groovy.compiler.level 17, still doesn't work.

I tried to change file bundles.info , but there is no 1.7 version.

So someone know how i can get this compiler 1.7? I was searching it so long, and i only found Groovy Eclipse plugin that only operates on 2 version (above one).

Thanks in advance for an answer!

It's been a while since i last saw 1.7 in the plugin. I guess it got outdated and removed. This page (near the bottom) tells that Groovy 1.7 is deprecated for GGTS (which, i guess, uses Groovy-eclipse):

Deprecating of Groovy 1.7 support

The Groovy 1.7 support in GGTS has been deprecated. It is still possible to install it for this release, but it will be removed in future releases. If you need to install the Groovy 1.7 compiler, then:

Go to Help -> Install new software Choose the Springsource update site to work with Uncheck Group items by category, As shown in the image:

Is that doesn't work, maybe you can try to install an older version of Groovy-eclipse from http://dist.springsource.org/ .
