NetBeans is a better option for Groovy+Java development. You can mix Java and Groovy files in a Java project in NetBeans. It also creates a distributable jar for your project. No classpath and jar issues with NetBeans created MET-INF file.

Make sure you are opening the file in a Groovy editor.

Look for any exceptions in your error log.

Also, just in case, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. I'd recommend using the latest milestone version as that one is about to be promoted to 2.1.2 final.

Is the filename extension .groovy? Are you sure the project has the Groovy nature? (right-click on the project, and ensure Remove Groovy Nature appears. If Add Groovy nature appears, then the project doesn't have a groovy nature, and therefore the groovy compiler won't work).

Could you also post the file that isn't compiling. There might be something wrong with what you typed.
