How do I auto load a database jar in Groovy without using the -cp switch?

by

Summarized from Groovy Recipes, by Scott Davis, Automatically Including JARs in the ./groovy/lib Directory:

  1. Create .groovy/lib in your login directory

  2. Uncomment the following line in ${GROOVY_HOME}/conf/groovy-starter.conf

    load !{user.home}/.groovy/lib/*.jar

  3. Copy the jars you want included to .groovy/lib

It appears that for Groovy 1.5 or later you get this by default (no need to edit the conf), just drop the jars in the /lib dir.
