Standard Groovy, no boilerplate
Write plain Groovy scripts and run them immediately — no project setup, no build tool, no framework dependencies.
Instant feedback
Console output, exceptions and stack traces appear in real time, making the IDE an ideal Groovy playground for experiments and code katas.
Full editor comfort
Syntax highlighting, autocomplete, error markers and script management — everything you expect from a modern IDE, without installing one.
Your code stays yours
Scripts are stored only in your browser. Zero server-side storage, GDPR compliant, hosted in Germany.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this Groovy IDE really free?
- Yes. The Groovy IDE by Contiva is completely free to use — no registration, no license fees, no hidden costs. Open the editor in your browser and start writing Groovy code immediately.
- Where are my scripts stored?
- Your scripts are stored exclusively in your browser (local storage) on your own device. Nothing is persisted on our servers. Script code is only transmitted for the moment of execution and is never saved — that is our zero data storage guarantee, fully GDPR compliant and hosted in Germany.
- Do I need to install anything to run Groovy code?
- No. The IDE runs entirely in your web browser. There is no local Groovy, Java or SDK installation required — the code is compiled and executed in a secure, isolated runtime and the result is streamed back to your browser.
- Which Groovy version does the online IDE use?
- The runtime matches the Groovy version used by SAP Cloud Integration, so scripts behave exactly as they do inside SAP CPI iFlows. This makes the IDE ideal for developing and testing CPI Groovy scripts before deploying them.
