Description

The POM file for groovy-all-1.1-beta-2 has many dependencies commented as optional components but none of them are marked as <optional>true</optional>. This causes bloat in any assemblies that depend on Groovy. The workaround requires the POM for a client project to explicitly exclude each of those unused dependencies.

The fix is trivial: Just add <optional>true</optional> to each of the dependencies in the POM that were commented as optional (everything but junit).
