Research direction
Examine OpenGrok's existing analyzer architecture, especially the Java analyzer since Groovy is JVM based. Look at how language analyzers are registered and implemented via the AnalyzerFactory. Consider creating a Groovy lexer using JFlex or ANTLR based on the Groovy grammar. Review any comments in issue #2677 for additional context or prior attempts.
