Groovy 1.8 introduced the Dollar slashy string: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Groovy+1.8+release+notes#Groovy1.8releasenotes-Dollarslashystrings

Somewhere in your groovy file after the /^s+$/, you must have a /$. Since syntax highlighting of strings is based on regular expressions, I have not yet found an easy way to support both dollar slashy strings and the corner case that you have described.

But, since this is not the first time your problem has come up, it is worth looking into more deeply.

The best fix I can think of would be to have a preference to disable slashy string syntax highlighting. There would be a checkbox somewhere in Preferences -> Groovy -> Editor. Unchecking it would stop this highlighting. Would that be sufficient for you?

There is now an option at the bottom of the Preferences -> Groovy -> Editor page where you can disable dollar slashy strings.
