Generate toString() not working

Hello Erik,

Actually "Generate toString()" was never supposed to work for Groovy, but
fortunately it turned out to be fairly easy to fix it so that it does work.
The code it generates is far from idiomatic Groovy, though.

It seems like everything I try wants to break.... I tried to generate
a toString() for my Grails domain classes, but when I do that, I get
an error message, that I should check my idea.log. I searched for 15
minutes, but then I found out that with 'idea.log' you probably mean
'the console', which makes ofcourse a lot of sense....

Anyway, this is the error reported there:

Hmm, is not an idea to have a option to generate something like:

String toString() {
"${var1} $ $"
}

??

Or would that be to hard? Ps, what happens now if you do a toString in a Groovy class, or Groovy script??
