Description

I know this is a limit that most probably will never be fixed in Greclipse... but I felt like it should be tracked here, as well, as it was in the old JIRA (GRECLIPSE-1196).

It would be extremely useful and "natural" if the Groovy compiler version could be set on a per-project basis, just like JDT allows for the Java compiler level.

Research direction

The issue references Greclipse, the old JIRA item GRECLIPSE-1196, and JDT's per-project Java compiler level, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the project's compiler configuration and comparing it with JDT's project-level settings; done means each project can select its Groovy compiler version independently.
