> I'd like to propose adding the Ivy JAR to our Platform/XE distributions.

> The reason is simple: it makes it possible to use the Groovy @Grab
> directive which makes it real easy to extend XWiki using Groovy script.
> Several advantages:
> - not having to manually hunt for transitive dependencies
> - not needing to stop/restart XWiki (since this is what you need to do if
> your groovy script needs to use some third party jars).
>
> Here's a good usage example:
>
> {{cache}}
> {{groovy}}
> @Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder',
> module='http-builder', version='0.5.1')
> import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
>
> github = new RESTClient( 'http://github.com/api/v2/json/' )
>
> println "|=Project|=Description|=Use Wiki?|=Use Issues?"
> def response = github.get( path : 'repos/show/xwiki' )
> response.data.repositories.each() { repo ->
> println "|[[${repo.name}>>
> http://github.com/xwiki/${repo.name}]]|${repo.description}|${repo.has_wiki}|${repo.has_issues}
> "
> }
> {{/groovy}}
> {{/cache}}

> If you try to do this without the grab directive you'll find yourself
> hunting down more than 30 jars which you'll need to put in your WEB-INF/lib
> directory, whereas here it's a single line directive. It's really powerful.

> Here's my +1 to make it easy for users to use Groovy scripts.
