groovy binary edition vs groovy-all-jar

When I want to download groovy from here http://groovy-lang.org/download.html I get the "binary release". This means I have a directory structure with a lib and bin and an embeddable folder. In the bin folder there is a groovy shell script that let's me execute my own groovy sourcefiles. This groovy shell script uses the jarsin the lib directory. I however want it to use the jars in the groovy-all-jar in the embeddable directory. The reason is, that I dont want all the jars in the jar directory in my classpath as I need to use different versions.

How can I make the groovy shell script using the groovy-all-jar?

groovy-all is usually for applications that want to support Groovy. So you just put it in your classpath.

If you want to use something like GroovyConsole from groovy-all using the shell scripts, you will have to edit the startGroovy. I suggest doing the following... remove everything in lib. Then find the line where STARTER_CLASSPATH is frist set and change it to use your groovy-all. I have not tested it, but that should work.

Since groovy-all contains only asm, commons-cli and antlr (in a jarjared version) anything that needs for example Jline (the shell console) will not work
