Research direction
Start by tracing how the groovy.compiler.level preference is applied by the Oomph setup and how the compiler level option page detects changes. Compare programmatic preference updates with the option-page behavior, then verify that a newly created IDE either prompts for restart or documents the intended behavior.

Description
Description
When I setup my IDE with oomph and add the groovy eclipse plugin I am not able to start with a non default compiler.
If I set the configuration option groovy.compiler.level to 40 it applies the option only after a restart.
This is likely because the option is set by oomph after the start of the IDE and groovy-eclipse does not catch the configuration.
Resolution options
- Detect programmatic configuration changes and ask to restart, as done when changing the compiler level in the option page.
- Document the behaviour as intended. Maybe somebody knowns a way how to trigger a restart if oomph does the configuration change automatically or how to configure the option before the first IDE start.
