This is a Groovy plugin for the Play Framework -- it'll allow you to write your Play code in Groovy rather than Java (or Scala)
- Groovy compilation (with recompile on reload)
- can cross-compile java and groovy sources
- can put multiple classes in files (classes not tied to filenames)
- Spock tests
- Treated as normal unit tests but with nicer syntax and better error output
- Geb tests
- Can be used to do functional or selenium type testing (htmlunit)
- can also visit external pages as part of a test
- More robust sample/testing apps for better test coverage
- Geb support is not finished yet
- only supports GET requests
- doesn't support cookies
- doesn't return js/css yet, or get content types
