Why is this MissingMethodException thrown in Eclipse?

[geossscripting]

Hi!

The following line throws a groovy.lang.MissingMethodException :No signature of method: java.io.File.deleteDir() is applicable for argument types: () values: {}

new File(directory).deleteDir()

where directory is a java.lang.String instance. The thing is, this only happens in Eclipse. The same code tried in groovyconsole, or ran from the command line works just fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email

Perhaps is should be delete()?

No, I wanted to use deleteDir so that I wouldn't have to implement the same functionality defined at http://groovy.codehaus.org/groovy-jdk/java/io/File.html#deleteDir()

if you use the normal plugin, then I am sure you use Groovy 1.5.x. This
method was added in the 1.6.x line only
