How to use the GrabResolver to use a remote repo in groovysh

Question

I know that you can use @GrabResolver(name='restlet', root='http://maven.restlet.org/') at the start of a groovy file. However, I wish to be able to do this call whilst I am in the groovysh.

is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

groovy:000> import groovy.grape.Grape
===> [import groovy.grape.Grape]
groovy:000> Grape.addResolver(name:'restlet', root:'http://maven.restlet.org/')
===> null

@GrabResolver internally adds the above call (Grape.addResolver()) in the class where the annotation is used. By default this behaviour is driven by the initClass property being set to true in the annotation.
