How do I include jars in a groovy script? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you want to use it right away before the import declarations it is possible like this :) :

// printEmployees.groovy
this.class.classLoader.rootLoader.addURL(
   new URL("file:///C:/app/Dustin/product/11.1.0/db_1/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar"))
import groovy.sql.Sql
sql = Sql.newInstance("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl", "hr", "hr",
                      "oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource")
sql.eachRow("SELECT employee_id, last_name, first_name FROM employees")
{
   println "The employee's name is ${it.first_name} ${it.last_name}."
}
