Description

I install & set groovy, but I always get:
> groovy
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLineParser
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2427)
at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Class.java:2670)
at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1603)
at org.codehaus.groovy.tools.GroovyStarter.rootLoader(GroovyStarter.java:92)
at org.codehaus.groovy.tools.GroovyStarter.main(GroovyStarter.java:130)

I looked into script and find out that it do not include all needed jar files. This diff worked for me

1. Create the final classpath. Setting a classpath using the -cp or -classpath option means not to use the
2. global classpath. Groovy behaves then the same as the java interpreter
