pffff 7 years ago it did ;)

yes, still works but you need to use very old versions of java+groovy

sdk install java 8.0.422.fx-zulu
sdk use java 8.0.422.fx-zulu
sdk install groovy 3.0.11
sdk use groovy 3.0.11
groovy run hello.groovy

don't know your idea/requirements but GroovyFX is not maintained (last commit was 3 years ago...)

I will try just to see if it works at least once! Thanks for the answer...

Yes, I'll try a bit more, but it works only with java 8 and groovy 3. One version more, neither (java or groovy) works...
