## groovy.lang
[Java] Annotation Type Grab

    java.lang.Object
      groovy.lang.Grab

    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE)
    @Target({
            ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR,
            ElementType.FIELD,
            ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE,
            ElementType.METHOD,
            ElementType.PARAMETER,
            ElementType.TYPE})
    public @interface Grab

Used to grab the referenced artifact and its dependencies and make it available on the Classpath.

Some examples:

     @Grab(group='commons-lang', module='commons-lang', version='2.4')
     import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils
     println "Hello ${WordUtils.capitalize('world')}"

Or using the compact Gradle-inspired syntax:

     @Grab('commons-lang:commons-lang:2.4')
     import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils
     println "Hello ${WordUtils.capitalize('world')}"

or the same thing again using the Ivy-inspired syntax variant:

     @Grab('commons-lang#commons-lang;2.4')
     import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils
     println "Hello ${WordUtils.capitalize('world')}"
