Description

Given the following script:

gcl = new GroovyClassLoader()

try {
def clazz = gcl.parseClass(new File("Test.groovy"))
}
catch(RuntimeException e) {
println e.message
e.printStackTrace(System.out)
}

And the following class:

class TestClass {
Test(SomeClass someClass)

{ this.someClass = someClass }

}

The exception that is thrown contains no information about the cause of the problem:

startup failed,
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed,

Even if you try iterative over ErrorCollector there is nothing to tell you that the reason the exception was thrown is that SomeClass.class does not exist
