If Groovy or any third-party framework gets away with that -- that is because you need to use modified security policy that gives those necessary permissions to groovy.jar or whatever third-party jar in question.
just think of us needing to build a runtime structure "copying" what is in a normal class (plus some changes) available in terms of fields and methods. If you don't generate that information (and you cannot for unknown classes), then how can you get that without using reflection and things like getDeclaredMethods. (not to mention several properties and many other things).
In other words: it is imho impossible to run even a single Groovy program without giving it some permissions.
