Description

The form:
<groovyc ... classpath="thepath" /> works in all cases.
However:
<groovyc ...>
<classpath refid="">
</groovyc>
throws a ZipException if an element in the path does not point to a valid archive/location.

A workaround is to use the first form, however this can be unwieldy with classpaths of many items.
