IntelliJ IDEA won't load Groovy found on my disk

Hi I lately wanted to start developing in Groovy but when I try IntelliJ IDEA it won't load Groovy cause it says:

Looks like Groovy distribution in specified path is broken. Cannot determine version.

Whats going on I even tried some older release and it didn't work either :( Did someone have same problem or knows how to work that out?

Looks like there is an issue with the IntelliJ! This works by changing the jar. Thanks for sharing this. Just adding more bits.

Just in case, the jar is in the lib folder. I've downloaded the groovy-2.4.13 and rename the jar from /groovy-2.4.13/lib/groovy.2.4.13 to /groovy-2.4.13/lib/groovy

It's a known issue:

  • IDEA-170022 Cannot create Groovy project, because cannot create Groovy library (2.4.10 version)

As a workaround you can use Groovy 2.4.9 or rename groovy-2.4.10.jar to groovy-2.4.9.jar.

The problem is fixed for IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1.1 and 2016.3.6 versions.
