Description

add a "distribute" command to grape CLI that jars up the script with all dependencies

As per the discussion on the mailing list: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Packaging-groovy-applications-for-distribution-td3277888.html

Thinking of something like this from the command line:

grape.bat -package -o MyJar.jar MyScript.groovy

And the output is a full JAR file with a MANIFEST that includes all the references and starts MyScript?

I definitely like the idea : I have often deployed scripts that used Grapes on servers which had no access to private repositories of artifacts. Therefore, I had to copy dependencies manually on .ivy directory.

Which means this should somehow modify the embedded script (or pass some parameters to grape) to avoid it tries to download the dependencies again.

I was thinking the output is a Jar file with a Main-Class in the MANIFEST so you can invoke it as "java -jar MyJar.jar" or double clicking it in Windows.

I use groovy all the time to write utility scripts for servers that cannot resolve grapes, and I always end up copying dependencies manually. This would be a great feature for me!
