Locating Groovy under STS on Ubuntu

I have installed Springsource Tool Suite v2.7.2 with Groovy and Grails support on Ubuntu. This works well.

I want to use the Groovy installed with STS from the command line on Ubuntu. When 开发者_高级运维I type which groovy I get nothing.

How can I find where groovy is installed so I can add to the path and set up GROOVY_HOME?

I found the home for my groovy and grails executables by doing this:

$ which groovy
/usr/bin/groovy
$ file /usr/bin/groovy
/usr/bin/groovy: symbolic link to '../share/groovy/bin/groovy'

$ which grails
/usr/bin/grails
$ file /usr/bin/grails
/usr/bin/grails: symbolic link to '/etc/alternatives/grails'
$ file /etc/alternatives/grails
/etc/alternatives/grails: symbolic link to '/usr/share/grails/1.3.7/bin/grails'

So, on my Ubuntu installation, GROOVY_HOME should be /usr/share/groovy/, while GRAILS_HOME should be /usr/share/grails/1.3.7/

This was a little round-about, especially since grails happened to point to a link under /etc/alternatives/. Maybe someone has a better way!

I think you are asking about the actual groovy installation used by STS and Eclipse.

The Groovy installation used by STS is located in /path/to/sts-2.7.2/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy_1.8.2.XXXX/lib/groovy-all-1.8.2.jar.

XXXX is the version of the groovy plugin currently installed. There is also a 1.7.10 version of the plugin that you could use. Just be warned that the XXXX will change whenever you update your Groovy-Eclipse.

You must also be the same pPaul who asked this: http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?115317-Using-Groovy-installed-with-STS So, apologies in the delay for the response.
