Groovy language support for Android

Deprecated: This plugin has been deprecated in favor of Kotlin which has the full support of JetBrains and Google. The changes that go into each Android Plugin Version make it really hard for this plugin to keep up. As of Gradle 6.0 this plugin does not work.

This plugin adds Groovy Language support for Android applications and libraries.

Updates

As of 2.0.0 of this plugin only will work with the Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.0 and above. For support of lower version use 1.2.0.

There is an issues when using build tool 26+ and the Groovy jar. The current work around is to use proguard or to use JarJar to create a jar file that does not have invoke dynamic classes. See ZarZaring the Groovy Jar for Android 26+ to create your own jar and avoid having to run proguard. See Github Issue for more details.
