Description

Groovy editor uses for parsing the Groovy parser from runtime and use compilation units from Groovy API to compile the sources to obtain the result AST. There can be reference loop beetween sources and such case creates endless loop of parsing due a bug in the CompilationUnit implamentation in Groovy NetBeans editor. This means that background scanning of such source root never ends.
