Dependency management with Grape

3.1. Annotation

One or more groovy.lang.Grab annotations can be added at any place that annotations are accepted to tell the compiler that this code relies on the specific library. This will have the effect of adding the library to the classloader of the groovy compiler. This annotation is detected and evaluated before any other resolution of classes in the script, so imported classes can be properly resolved by a @Grab annotation.

import com.jidesoft.swing.JideSplitButton
@Grab(group='com.jidesoft', module='jide-oss', version='[2.2.1,2.3.0)')
public class TestClassAnnotation {
    public static String testMethod () {
        return JideSplitButton.class.name
    }
}

An appropriate grab(…​) call will be added to the static initializer of the class of the containing class (or script class in the case of an annotated script element).

3.2. Multiple Grape Annotations

In early versions of Groovy, if you wanted to use a Grab annotation multiple times on the same node you had to use the @Grapes annotation, e.g.:

@Grapes([
   @Grab(group='commons-primitives', module='commons-primitives', version='1.0'),
   @Grab(group='org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup', module='tagsoup', version='0.9.7')])
class Example {
// ...
}

Otherwise you’d encounter the following error:

Cannot specify duplicate annotation on the same member

But in recent versions, @Grapes is purely optional.

Technical notes:

3.3. Method call

Typically a call to grab will occur early in the script or in class initialization. This is to ensure that the libraries are made available to the ClassLoader before the groovy code relies on the code. A couple of typical calls may appear as follows:

import groovy.grape.Grape
// random maven library
Grape.grab(group:'com.jidesoft', module:'jide-oss', version:'[2.2.0,)')
Grape.grab([group:'org.apache.ivy', module:'ivy', version:'2.0.0-beta1', conf:['default', 'optional']],
     [group:'org.apache.ant', module:'ant', version:'1.7.0'])
3.3.1. grab(HashMap) Parameters

There are two principal variants of grab, one with a single Map and one with an arguments Map and multiple dependencies map. A call to the single map grab is the same as calling grab with the same map passed in twice, so grab arguments and dependencies can be mixed in the same map, and grab can be called as a single method with named parameters.

There are synonyms for these parameters. Submitting more than one is a runtime exception.

3.3.2. Arguments Map arguments 3.4. Command Line Tool

Grape added a command line executable `grape' that allows for the inspection and management of the local grape cache.

grape install [-hv] <group> <module> [<version>] [<classifier>]

This installs the specified groovy module or maven artifact. If a version is specified that specific version will be installed, otherwise the most recent version will be used (as if `*' we passed in).

Lists locally installed modules (with their full maven name in the case of groovy modules) and versions.

grape resolve [-adhisv] (<groupId> <artifactId> <version>)+

This returns the file locations of the jars representing the artifacts for the specified module(s) and the respective transitive dependencies. You may optionally pass in -ant, -dos, or -shell to get the dependencies expressed in a format applicable for an ant script, windows batch file, or unix shell script respectively. -ivy may be passed to see the dependencies expressed in an ivy like format.

grape uninstall [-hv] <group> <module> <version>

This uninstalls a particular grape: it non-transitively removes the respective jar file from the grape cache.

3.5. Advanced configuration 3.5.1. Repository Directory

If you need to change the directory grape uses for downloading libraries you can specify the grape.root system property to change the default (which is ~/.groovy/grapes)

groovy -Dgrape.root=/repo/grapes yourscript.groovy
3.5.2. Customize Ivy settings

You can customize the ivy settings that Grape uses by creating a ~/.groovy/grapeConfig.xml file. If no such file exists, here are the default settings used by Grape.

For more information on how to customize these settings, please refer to the Ivy documentation.

3.6. More Examples

Using Apache Commons Collections:

// create and use a primitive array list
@Grab(group='commons-primitives', module='commons-primitives', version='1.0')
import org.apache.commons.collections.primitives.ArrayIntList

def createEmptyInts() { new ArrayIntList() }

def ints = createEmptyInts()
ints.add(0, 42)
assert ints.size() == 1
assert ints.get(0) == 42

Using TagSoup:

// find the PDF links of the Java specifications
@Grab(group='org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup', module='tagsoup', version='1.2.1')
def getHtml() {
    def parser = new XmlParser(new org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser())
    parser.parse("https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/")
}
html.body.'**'.a.@href.grep(~/.*\.pdf/).each{ println it }

Using Google Collections:

import com.google.common.collect.HashBiMap
@Grab(group='com.google.code.google-collections', module='google-collect', version='snapshot-20080530')
def getFruit() { [grape:'purple', lemon:'yellow', orange:'orange'] as HashBiMap }
assert fruit.lemon == 'yellow'
assert fruit.inverse().yellow == 'lemon'

Launching a Jetty server to serve Groovy templates:

@Grab('org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate:jetty-server:8.1.19.v20160209')
@Grab('org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate:jetty-servlet:8.1.19.v20160209')
@Grab('javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1')
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server
import org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler
import groovy.servlet.TemplateServlet

def runServer(duration) {
    def server = new Server(8080)
    def context = new ServletContextHandler(server, "/", ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS)
    context.resourceBase = "."
    context.addServlet(TemplateServlet, "*.gsp")
    server.start()
    sleep duration
    server.stop()
}

runServer(10000)

Grape will download Jetty and its dependencies on first launch of this script, and cache them. We create a new Jetty Server on port 8080, then expose Groovy’s TemplateServlet at the root of the context — Groovy comes with its own powerful template engine mechanism. We start the server and let it run for a certain duration. Each time someone will hit http://localhost:8080/somepage.gsp, it will display the somepage.gsp template to the user — those template pages should be situated in the same directory as this server script.
