Description

Guillaume requested the I create a ticket for this issue originally reported on the groovy-user mailing list...

I'm trying out the invoke dynamic (indy) version of groovy. When running groovysh 2.0.0-beta-3 with Java 1.7u4, the following error is continuously printing to the console

C:\>groovysh
Groovy Shell (2.0.0-beta-3, JVM: 1.7.0_04)
Type 'help' or '\h' for help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR java.lang.ClassCastException: required class java.lang.Class but encountered class org.fusesource.jansi.AnsiRenderer

I'm running this on Windows XP SP3.

I followed Cédric Champeau's instructions to copy the indy jar to the lib and rename it (http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/ANN-Groovy-2-0-0-beta-3-td5691151.html). groovyConsole starts without these errors.
