Description

In the below tutorial...

https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/java/groovy-quickstart.html tutorial

...the reference to the Groovy class, in the Java source file, is not recognized in the Java Editor, i.e., the below is underlined in red:

GreetingProvider provider = new GreetingProvider();

It used to be the case, in a NetBeans past, that that Groovy reference was recognized without a problem, and code completion worked too on the reference. Somehow somewhere something is now broken.
