Description

Background: This is Cloned from GROOVY-3270 where the problem was stated as:

I am prototyping some code with GroovyConsole and I find it convenient to use "println" to the output area and copy/paste the result into another file. The output now is too big for the default size of the output, is there a way to increase it with an option? In addition to making that setting configurable, a log-to-file option would be nice.

Note: See GROOVY-3270 for the output area change. This issue is for the log to file option.

Ideally the output log file name could be set (probably under the View menu) but if nothing else a system property would be an improvement.
