The solution could be hidden in the groovy console. There you can access the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) from the menu via Script->Inspect Ast . In this view, you will find the parameters you are searching for.

So it seems to be possible. While searching for "groovy ast" on google, I found the following code which seems to take a script and output the AST:

http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/branches/gep-3/src/main/groovy/inspect/swingui/AstBrowser.groovy

Hope that helps!
