As far as I can tell the problem with using cc-mode as a base (as
Javascript mode has done) is that it effectively requires semi-colons
which Groovy does not.  Also of course the Java mode based on cc-mode
requires large numbers of keywords that Groovy does not.  I guess some
mixture of python-mode, ruby-mode, javascript-mode and java-mode would
be required to do the job for groovy -- which probably implies starting
from scratch :-(

PS  My researches are VERY XEmacs based as I don't use Emacs.
