Doesn't even load

[MarkSymsCtx]

The master branch (at commit f8e9628) fails to load

That changeset is the current HEAD for the 1.X branch, not the master branch. I just tried it on Debian Sid with:

GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.12) of 2017-04-23, modified by Debian

and it "works for me". If you wish to continue to use the old CC-Mode based Groovy Mode rather than the replacement, we will have to dig a bit deeper to see what it might be that is causing the problem. As a start could you let us know the context and the set up for the modes?

Sorry, pasted the wrong commit - I have 9849318 as the HEAD of master and that's where I get the error. On CentOS 7.3.1611.

1.0.2 does load successfully and that's why I got the wrong commitish as I was having to jump between branches to allow emacs to even start up

[russel]

OK, that makes much more sense now :-) It looks like the Emacs you have does not have the s package. This is obtained via MELPA. (Actually I am not sure why we need that, but for now we do.)

[MarkSymsCtx]

ah right, that sorted it, I can at least load things now. I'll give it a try and see if it solves the issues we were seeing with the cc-mode version

[russel]

I think this version of the Groovy mode solves a number of the sticking points that were irritating people, but I have a suspicion there are some missing features that came with the CC_mode which will need to be re-created in this standalone version.
