  📋 The new antlr4-based Parrot Parser is disabled by default. To enable it, add -Dgroovy.antlr4=true to your eclipse.ini file after the -vmargs line or add a compiler config script to your project with configuration.pluginFactory = org.codehaus.groovy.control.ParserPluginFactory.antlr4(). Please note that parser recovery is not implemented for the Parrot Parser, so your editing experience may be sub-par in this mode.
