maven-invoker-plugin and groovy modules

[Slawomir Jaranowski]

Hi,

currently in m-invoker-p we have a dependency with a lot of exclusions ...

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
      <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.9</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
      <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
          <artifactId>groovy-groovysh</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
          <artifactId>groovy-test</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
          <artifactId>groovy-test-junit5</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
          <artifactId>groovy-testng</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
      </exclusions>
    </dependency>

but anyway, dependency tree is:

+- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:pom:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-ant:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  |  +- org.apache.ant:ant:jar:1.10.11:runtime
|  |  +- org.apache.ant:ant-junit:jar:1.10.11:runtime
|  |  |  \- com.sun:tools:jar:1.8.0:system
|  |  +- org.apache.ant:ant-launcher:jar:1.10.11:runtime
|  |  \- org.apache.ant:ant-antlr:jar:1.10.11:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-astbuilder:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-cli-picocli:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  |  \- info.picocli:picocli:jar:4.6.1:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-console:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-datetime:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-docgenerator:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  |  \- com.thoughtworks.qdox:qdox:jar:1.12.1:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-groovydoc:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  |  \- com.github.javaparser:javaparser-core:jar:3.23.0:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-jmx:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-json:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-jsr223:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-macro:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-nio:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-servlet:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-sql:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-swing:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  +- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-templates:jar:3.0.9:runtime
|  \- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-xml:jar:3.0.9:runtime

So every user of m-invoker-p downloads a lot of unneeded stuff.

I don't believe that someone needs sql, servlet, swing .. etc in invoker
verify scripts.
I'm not feel good about adding the next exclusions.

My prefer way is add only some of common used modules like:
- groovy-xml

If someone needs a more special case can add it in your projects to plugin
dependencies.

What do you think?
What special groovy modules are you used in invoker groovy scripts?
