[groovy-eclipse-plugin-dev] Why two builders?

I see that all groovy projects have both a Java builder and a Groovy
builder installed.  My understanding is that the groovy compiler can
compile java files as well.  So, some questions about this:

1. Is this true?

2. If it is true, then is it as simple as passing Java files along
with the Groovy files to the compiler?  Or is there some magic that
needs to get done?

3. Is there any reason why there needs to be 2 builders if the groovy
compiler can now compile everything?

If the answers are Yes, Yes/No, No, then should it not be an easy fix
to remove the JavaBuilder requirement from Groovy projects?  I'm new
to this, please enlighten me.  :)
