Create a Java class from a groovy test file in IntelliJ

Question

Trying to do TDD in a java project using groovy tests, I need to generate java classes on the fly (Alt`+`Enter from the test on the name of a class I want to introduce -> Create class -> Select the java main package as Target destination). The problem is that, even if the Target destination is a java source directory, IntelliJ generates a groovy class. Is there any way to quickly generate a Java class, instead?

Accepted Answer

With the current version of IntelliJ IDEA (2016.2.4) the only solution I found is to generate a groovy class (Alt`+`Enter`| Create class` from the test) and then convert it to Java (`Refactor | Convert to Java`). To make it faster I also added a shortcut for `Convert to Java`: Ctrl+Shift+O was the best available option for me.
