Description

Previous to 1.7.6, I have been launching a Groovy console in my application by a call to:

groovy.ui.Console.main(new String[0]);

My appliction makes use of the emmbedable grovy-all-1.7.X.jar.

However, in 1.7.6, the console is now dependent on Ivy (through the additional code in the Console constructor). But the org.apache.ivy classes are not in the grovy-all-1.7.6.jar.

I suggest that either:

• The org.apache.ivy classes are also included in the all jar file
• The dependency is documented (it may be already but I have missed it)
• It is made possible to launch the Console without the dependency
