Description

We've moving more and more from BeanShell scripting to Groovy for our jAlbum app. There is one really convenient feature of BeanShell I hope Groovy has, but I can't find it. It's the setAccessibility(true) function call, which allows BeanShell code to refer to private fields and methods. This call is very practical when using BeanShell as a debugging tool. Any equivalent in Groovy? If not, can it be added please?
