Re: Groovy and class reference resolver

Hi Cleverton,

You have three options I know of:
1.  drop jars into GROOVY_HOME/lib
2. add entries to $GROOVY_HOME/conf/groovy-classworlds.conf (or other  
classworld conf files in there, depending which groovy tool your're  
working with)
3. use the command line -cp or -classpath options

Options 1 and 2 seem are just essentially different ways to achieve the  
same runtime. But option 2 allows cleaner separation of Groovy and your  
3rd party libs.

Option 3 seems to add the jars to the JVM system classpath, which may  
work for your needs, or may cause you CNFExceptions if your classes  
depend on anything loaded under GROOVY_HOME/lib. YMMV.

See my blog entry on integrating Ant and Groovy for related info (and  
why option 3 isn't good for Ant integration):
