hello is possible to compile katalon script in jva to eclipse for create a jar?

It depends on your requirement.

In my case, I have ever tried to do, in Eclipse, junit-based test of Groovy code as custom keywords which calls com.kms.katalon.core.* class:

How to write Katalon Studio tests with IntelliJ IDEA and other IDEs

I have given up the idea of testing my custom keywords with JUnit outside Katalon Studio; I mean in Eclipse. I want to do unit-tests on my custom keyword class com.kazurayam.ksbackyard.ScreenshotDriver. This class interacts with WebDriver to take screenshot of web sites, therefore it requires the Katalon Studio runtime environment. It is impossible to mock the KS runtime environment in Eclipse, so I gave up. I am going to investigate 2 more options, both will be performed within Katalon Studio…

Eventually I gave it up, because I found 2 fundamental difficulties:

1. Katalon does not provide a distributable jar which contains the com.kms.katalon.core.* libraries portable to Eclipse. Therefore some of my classes referring to com.kms.katalon.core.* does not compile in Eclipse at all.
2. Some of my classes required interaction with browsers through WebDriver. I could not make it possible in Eclipse. I found it is easiest to do in Katalon Studio.
