Groovy classpath issue - groovy

Question

I have run the following code in this page RsyntaxTextArea using Java and i run the program exactly the way that is been mentioned in this site.And i'm getting the output as intended. But i have tried to modify this java code to Groovy code, something like:
import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder
import javax.swing.*
import java.awt.*
swing = new SwingBuilder()
frame = swing.frame(title : "test", defaultCloseOperation:JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE, pack:true, show : true, size :[100,100])
{
panel
{
RSyntaxTextArea textArea = new RSyntaxTextArea();
textArea.setSyntaxEditingStyle(SyntaxConstants.SYNTAX_STYLE_JAVA);
}
}
And when i try to run this script as follows:
groovyc -classpath rsyntaxtextarea.jar TextEditorDemo.groovy
I get the errors stating that:
groovy: 9: unable to resolve class RSyntaxTextArea
# line 9, column 19.
RSyntaxTextArea textArea = new RSyntaxTextArea();
^
/home/anto/Groovy/Rsyntax/ST.groovy: 9: unable to resolve class RSyntaxTextArea
# line 9, column 30.
RSyntaxTextArea textArea = new RSyntaxTextArea();
^
/home/anto/Groovy/Rsyntax/ST.groovy: 10: unable to resolve class RSyntaxTextArea
# line 10, column 7.
textArea.setSyntaxEditingStyle(SyntaxConstants.SYNTAX_STYLE_JAVA);
I guess i have made wrong in running the program. How i do i run the program in this case by defining the classpath too.

Answer 1

It doesn't look like you're importing the package for RSyntaxTextArea. Have you tried adding the following imports to your program?
import org.fife.ui.rtextarea.*;
import org.fife.ui.rsyntaxtextarea.*;

Answer 2

This code should do what you want... You needed to add the RSyntaxTextArea into the view (using the widget method)
You also needed to add it into a JScrollPane, so that it scrolls nicely when full.
import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder
import java.awt.BorderLayout as BL
import static javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE
import org.fife.ui.rsyntaxtextarea.*
RSyntaxTextArea textArea = new RSyntaxTextArea()
textArea.syntaxEditingStyle = SyntaxConstants.SYNTAX_STYLE_JAVA
swing = new SwingBuilder()
frame = swing.frame(title:"test", defaultCloseOperation:EXIT_ON_CLOSE, size:[600,400], show:true ) {
borderLayout()
panel( constraints:BL.CENTER ) {
borderLayout()
scrollPane( constraints:BL.CENTER ) {
widget textArea
}
}
}
edit
Without using widget, your code would need to look something like this:
import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder
import java.awt.BorderLayout as BL
import static javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE
import org.fife.ui.rsyntaxtextarea.*
RSyntaxTextArea textArea = new RSyntaxTextArea()
textArea.syntaxEditingStyle = SyntaxConstants.SYNTAX_STYLE_JAVA
swing = new SwingBuilder()
frame = swing.frame(title:"test", defaultCloseOperation:EXIT_ON_CLOSE, size:[600,400], show:true ) {
borderLayout()
panel( constraints:BL.CENTER ) {
borderLayout()
sp = scrollPane( constraints:BL.CENTER )
sp.viewport.add textArea
}
}
