%X For some years there has been much activity in developing
   CSP\-like extensions to a number of common programming
   languages. In particular, a number of groups have looked at
   extensions to Java. Recent developments in the Java platform
   have resulted in groups proposing more expressive problem
   solving environments. Groovy is one of these developments.
   Four constructs are proposed that support the writing of
   parallel systems using the JCSP package. The use of these
   constructs is then demonstrated in a number of examples,
   both concurrent and parallel. A mechanism for writing XML
   descriptions of concurrent systems is described and it is
   shown how this is integrated into the Groovy environment.
   Finally conclusions are drawn relating to the use of the
   constructs, particularly in a teaching and learning
   environment.
