Importing the Groovy template engine into a Java project

I would like to import the Groovy template engine in a standalone Java library. I got this idea after seeing that the Play Framework 1.2.4 also did it.

Is there a way to exclusively get the template engine without importing the whole Groovy framework?

Thanks

One of the new features in the Groovy 2.0 release is modularization. There is a separate module for templating (everything in package groovy.text) e.g. groovy-templates-2.0.0-rc-4.jar. I am not quite sure what the dependencies of that module are so you might have to pull in some other Groovy modules. This will keep it to a minimum though. As 2.0 is not final yet you could probably try out a RC version.

Not to my knowledge, but you can run groovy code from a java class... see: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Embedding+Groovy

So you could get it to work with a bit of hacking.
