A good-enough Linux IDE for Groovy/Grails code completion?

The Groovy and Grails support in eclipse is truely pathetic. Specifically code completion does not use any type inference, and is thus useless most of the time.

I am currently using Netbeans 6.7 Beta on Ubuntu for Grails development. This setup is very usable in general. The only problem I have is that code completion is very slow.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it because of the dynamic nature of Grails?

I have the same problem on a really new / fast computer. Sometimes I'm able to Google the API and come up with the methods before Netbeans 6.7 Beta.

The best one is IntelliJ IDEA (IMHO). Then comes Eclipse and Netbeans. But anyway, code completion isn't a strong point of those IDEs because of groovy's dynamic nature.

I am a die-hard Eclipse user but have to say, try IDEA for Groovy/Grails support. It is much better that the current Eclipse plugin.

current Eclipse Plugin is still buggy. At the moment i prefer Netbeans Integration.

I use Eclipse for C++, but use Netbeans for Groovy. Eclipse + Groovy doesn't work well for me. Lots of bugs/glitches
