How to override key binding for groovy-mode?

What is the general procedure for overriding a key binding set by a package?

I have a global key binding for a function I wrote (using "global-set-key").  I recently started using "groovy-mode", but I noticed that this mode is using my key to bind to something else.

What should I add in my "groovy-mode-hook" to make it use my global binding instead?  Or is there a "more correct" way to do this?

Look for a `groovy-mode-map', i.e., a keymap that groovy-mode binds its
keys in.  It might have a different name.  Then use `define-key' to 
remove that binding (bind to nil to remove a binding).  You can also
use `define-key' to bind the groovy command to some other key in that map.

(define-key groovy-mode-map THE-KEY nil) ; Remove binding
(define-key groovy-mode-map OTHER-KEY THE-GROOVY-COMMAND) ; Move to a diff key

Thanks, putting the first one into my mode hook disabled the Groovy binding.
