Description

When I run the following code in a GroovyConsole started from within Eclipse, a NoClassDefFoundError is thrown.

import groovy.xml.DOMBuilder

dom = DOMBuilder.newInstance()
node = dom.foo()
println node

Exception thrown: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xml/serialize/OutputFormat

[snip]

This does not happen if I run it in a GroovyConsole started standalone with the Groovy 1.0 distribution.

I get the same exception if I use the XMLUnit XMLAssert.assertXMLEqual in a Groovy JUnit test started from within Eclipse.
