Hi,
I've been playing with Groovy for the past few months. I like it, but sometimes I also get frustated with the dynamic type of Groovy. I tend to use groovy.inspect.swingui.ObjectBrowser.inspect(obj) everytime I encounter an object, which I don't know the type and look it up in the Groovy Doc for all the available methods or properties. This is quite a tedious process and so far no code completion from major IDEs. Am I missing something here? What do you guys normally use while developing Groovy?

What "major IDEs" are you referring to? Intellij has excellent code completion for Groovy objects. Aside from that, we do what you do. It's just the nature of dynamic languages.

I'm referring to Eclipse or NetBeans. Maybe I should give IntelliJ a shot. OK, thanks for your reply
