DKPro Core Groovy usage and installation with UIMA

Question

Hey i am an extreme noblet on groovy, i just found out it existed. I installed it on a centos 5 system and these are the versions

Groovy Version: 2.3.0 JVM: 1.7.0_55 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Linux

then i tried to run a simple script found here without downloading or installing or including anything else. The run fails with the following result. What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

There seems to be a problem with Groovy 2.3. I can reproduce the problem with this configuration:

Groovy Version: 2.3.0 JVM: 1.8.0 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Mac OS X

However, these configurations works for me:

Groovy Version: 2.1.8 JVM: 1.8.0 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Mac OS X
Groovy Version: 2.2.2 JVM: 1.8.0 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Mac OS X

Thanks for reporting this, we will try to track this problem down. Meanwhile, please use Groovy 2.1.x or 2.2.x.
