Description

the included Groovy dependency is already a few years old - we should update to more recent Groovy version.

and we should add a dependency to Ivy (which is an optional dependency of Groovy), to support importing maven artifacts in Groovy scripts via Groovy Grape:
http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/grape.html

with this it's possible to import maven artifacts in the Groovy script like this:

@Grab(group='org.springframework', module='spring-orm', version='3.2.5.RELEASE')
