I've recently started experiencing problems running Groovy files as Groovy Scripts. When I right click on a groovy file and select "Run As Groovy Script", nothing happens. The same applies to the "Groovy Console" option. Below is the error/stacktrace written to the .log file each time I do this.
FYI, I've tried to install a brand new version of Eclipse J2EE 3.5.2 and then install GRECLIPSE 2.0.1 and 2.0.0 plugins again. The problem won't go away even on a fresh install. I've also tried to point to a different workspace. Same thing. Please help.
