how to use the groovy maven plugin

Question

I want to auto compile and run test when I use mvn test or mvn install

I used to use gmaven-plugin and it works will.

But when I use the groovy-maven-plugin,the new version of gmaven, it doesn't work!

So how to config?

Here is my pom.xml:

<!-- gmaven-plugin -->
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
    <artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.5</version>
    <configuration>
        <providerSelection>2.0</providerSelection>
        <source/>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>generateStubs</goal>
                <goal>compile</goal>
                <goal>generateTestStubs</goal>
                <goal>testCompile</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven.runtime</groupId>
            <artifactId>gmaven-runtime-2.0</artifactId>

                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
            <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
            <version>${groovy.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>

<!-- groovy-maven-plugin -->

  <artifactId>groovy-maven-plugin</artifactId>

</plugin>

Aside from the Groovy Eclipse Compiler, there's also a new GMavenPlus plugin that can support joint compilation.

In regards to testing, here's a POM sample of my project which has the GMavenPlus plugin working with Spock.

  <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                    <source>1.7</source>
                    <target>1.7</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
