Description

Groovy can be integrated to Maven, but the functionality is limited because "root" classloader in Maven is passed to as the classloader for GroovyShell. Groovy script cannot access Maven classes such as MavenUtils since Maven classes are loaded into "root.maven" classloader, which is the child classloader of "root".
The attached patch modifies the code to use "root.maven", and allows to perform operations like this.

def anotherPom = MavenUtils.getProject(new FIle("other/project/project.xml", pom.context)

I hope this fix is included to achieve better integration with maven.
