Where to find groovy library on intellij(mac) when installed groovy through sdkman

Question

I installed groovy through sdkman on mac. When i try to create a new groovy project in intellij, it asks for groovy library location. Where can i find the installed groovy?

Normally it should be under `/users//.sdkman/groovy/current` or `/users//.sdkman/groovy/`. Mark that `.sdkman` might not be visible in IntelliJ by default, but tracing through the directory structure should be possible. — dmahapatro, Feb 21 '16 at 04:35
@dmahapatro you are right. It is not visible. It is in /Users/Ramisetti/.sdkman/candidates/groovy. Thank you. — Rax, Feb 21 '16 at 05:45
Whenever you have this problem, use the `which` shell command. `which groovy` will tell you the answer — tim_yates, Feb 21 '16 at 08:44
I suggest you don't use `current` in the project config in IntelliJ as that will change which GDK it points to over time. Rather use `/Users//.sdkman/candidates/groovy/` for the specific version your project needs. — Todd W Crone, Feb 21 '16 at 22:15

I ran into similar issue. By using

/Users/<username/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/current

or

/Users/<username/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/<version>

worked for me.

<.> allows you to pick the hidden folder in the open dialog box. – ThomasW Dec 28 '16 at 11:22

CMD+SHIFT+G also appears to work and was the solution recommended by JetBrains. – icfantv Jan 11 '18 at 21:59

Adding the answer that solved my problem (thanks to ThomasW comment)

When dialog box is opened you can click CMDSHIFT. and this allows you to pick the hidden folder in the open dialog box.

Then you can use:

/Users/<username>/.sdkman/candidates/groovy/current

You may not be able to find groovy path with which command. After installation of sdkman on linux-like systems Mac OSX, Linux, Cygwin, Solaris and FreeBSD,
First, run $ source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh", then you will be able to access the installed development kits.

Namely, if you type 'which groovy' it should show the path, and you can invoke other SDK commands.
