Description

@Grab annotations are baked into the .class files and executed when the class is loaded. They break if a custom @GrabResolver is used though because that information is lost. It would make sense to keep it.

E.g. try and compile this

@GrabResolver(name='spring-snapshot', root='http://repo.springframework.org/snapshot')
@GrabConfig(systemClassLoader=true)
@Grab("org.springframework:spring-context:3.2.2.BOOTSTRAP-SNAPSHOT")
@GrabExclude("commons-logging:commons-logging")
@Grab("org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:1.6.1")
@Grab("org.slf4j:slf4j-jdk14:1.6.1")
class BootstrapGrapes { 
}

Then blow away your ~/.groovy/grapes/org.springframework and try and load the class:

$ mv ~/.groovy/grapes ~/tmp
$ rm -rf ~/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-context
$ groovysh
> "BootstrapGrapes" as Class
