Description

This is very useful for use case like XWiki where you want to put a groovy script containing a class in a wiki page and include this page in other documents to use the class.

Here is a possible test case:

def engine = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName('groovy')

def clazz = engine.eval('class Foo {}')
def instance = engine.eval('new Foo()')

assert instance.class.isAssignableFrom(clazz)
