how to upgrade grails and groovy in SpringSource STS

[Sven Prevrhal]

Hi, I am using STS 2.5.0 and just downloaded Grails 1.3.5 and Groovy
1.7.5. Now I want STS to use those. For grails, I found
Windows->Preferences->Groovy->Grails in the IDE but it's apparently
not as simple as setting the path there to the new grails version,
because I get lots of errors when I try to run after setting that to
1.3.5.
I didn't see anything at all to set Groovy - how do I control what
version STS will use, or is that a wrong question?

Thanks and Cheers,Sven

Hi Sven,

The following should work, although they are project specific:

Right click on your Grails project within the IDE. Select "Properties"
from the context menu. In the dialog box click on "Grails", then check
"Enable project specific settings" and click on "Configure Workspace
Settings".

For a Groovy project, right click on the project and select
"Properties". Next select "Java Build Path", and then open the
"Libraries" property sheet. Expand "Groovy Libraries". You can then add
the new version and remove the old version from the project settings.

You'll probably get more informative answers to questions about STS on
the STS forum. <http://forum.springsource.org/forumdisplay.php?f=32>

Just to note, this only switches the runtime dependency groovy level,
it does not change the compiler level used by groovy-eclipse.  Groovy
Eclipse is currently using the Groovy 1.7.5 compiler.  You may get
problems if you change the dependencies as described above, as there
are no guarantees that code built with 1.7.5 will run against a
runtime level other than 1.7.5.
