• Multiple new Groovy-aware refactorings
• Extended Groovy coding assistance with support for dynamic properties and methods
• Groovy-ready debugger that handles mixed Java and Groovy code
• Smart GroovyDoc browser
• Support for automatic testing with JUnit/TestNG
• Improved Grails coding assistance with support for JavaScript and custom tags
• Complete support for Grails plugins

To learn more about Groovy/Grails support in IntelliJ IDEA, please visit the dedicated Features page [2].

JetGroovy plug-in supports all of IntelliJ IDEA 7.0 releases, including 7.0.2 and 7.0.3. You can download it and find more information about it at http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=1524 [3] or via the IntelliJ IDEA Plug-in Manager.

You might also be pleased to learn that starting from version 8.0 of IntelliJ IDEA Groovy/Grails support is going to be part of the standard distribution package, instead of being provided through a plug-in.
