Recently upgraded to Eclipse 2020-12 (4.18.0) and Groovy hasn't worked since.

Upgraded Groovy with no improvement.

Now running (expanding all the "What's installed" tree)

  • Eclipse Groovy Development Tools org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.feature.feature.group
  • Groovy Compiler 2.5 org.codehaus.groovy25.feature.feature.group
  • Groovy-Eclipse Compilerless feature org.codehaus.groovy.compilerless.feature.feature.group
  • Groovy-Eclipse Headless feature org.codehaus.groovy.headless.feature.feature.group
  • Eclipse JDT Core patch for Groovy org.codehaus.groovy.jdt.patch.feature.group
  • Groovy Compiler 3.0 org.codehaus.groovy30.feature.feature.group

All with version 4.0.0.v202012311505-e2009-RELEASE. However, the entry for "Eclipse JDT Core patch for Groovy" has a red '+' overlaid on its plugin icon.

Referring to the Eclipse log, java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jdt/groovy/integration/LanguageSupport is being reported constantly. I'm assuming the patched JDT Core is not installed correctly but not sure what to do next.

    You must use the update site that matches your eclipse release. You have eclipse 2020-12 and groovy tools 2020-09. – emilles Jan 09 '21 at 13:02

For me I couldn't open groovy files, all I got was a blank editor pane. Initially I installed groovye-eclipse from eclipse market place.

@emilles comment was spot on. I did have an incorrect version installed. After uninstalling and adding new update site specific to my eclipse version (2020-12) it works fine. I can open and edit groovy files.
