Description

When Groovy is embedded in a Java program, the standard Java syntax for creating a new array from a set of elements does not work. The following line

shell.evaluate("a = new Object []

{1,2,3}

");

throws an exception:

Script1.groovy: 1: unexpected token: , @ line 1, column 21.
1 Error

On the other hand, when exactly the same line is entered into groovysh, it works perfectly.
