Description

We've been through this before, but now we need to revisit the issue since we will be soon supporting Groovy 1.8.

We need an easy way for users to switch compiler levels. Ideally, a restart shouldn't be necessary, but I don't think that's possible.

I have a prototype in my workspace. This prototype works similarly as the compiler switching did before, with a couple of changes so that things seem smoother. Now, as before, we disable the undesired Groovy compiler version, and enable the desired version. However, now we do not try to stop the bundle before restarting. Disabling appears to be sufficient.

I tried this on windows and mac and this is working. However, we need to be careful since in the past it would work for some users, but inexplicably not work for others.

I will commit this change and try to get others to use it.

Now tried it out on Linux and it is working there, too. However, this is only in a runtime workspace. I will wait for the build to come out and see if it is working in a full build.
