Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities, for the Java platform aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax.

Support in PMD

Groovy support was added with PMD 5.5.2. With PMD 7.0.0, support for Groovy 3 and 4 was added.
