Description
Hello.
It seems that if you try to perform code formatting from outside of the source editor for groovy, java formatting is performed. I had a problem that in my groovy script, many lines were joined (they did not have semicolon at ends).
Also tested by creating a file with extremely long comment. Formatting from inside had no effect, but formatting outside broke it in few lines.
btw: is it planned to make a sophisticated code formatter?

Research direction
Reproduce the report by formatting Groovy from inside and outside the source editor, including a long comment and lines without semicolons. Compare which formatter is selected in each path and confirm that outside-editor formatting uses Java formatting; done when both paths preserve Groovy syntax and long comments.
