I see two other options right now:
One is using an customized internal groovy jar which does not include

And I'm afraid it won't really solve the problem. As long as an Ant
task
might see ANY class from Gradle's internal Groovy jar, we're in
danger.
right

I don't know how you integrate with Ant, but isn't it possible to
completely
seal off Ant tasks by means of a separate classloader?
I've worked on this more than a day. One thing is that the custom
classloaders you define by yourself are always wrapped in an
AntClassloader. And it looks as if the custom classloaders you pass
with loaderref to a taskdef are not used in a dynamic way. I succeed
in the way that groovyc-1.6 was used for compiling. But then I got
classcast exceptions due to incompatible versions of groovy classes.
This is no fun.
I'm using a different approach now which works. I have to update the
user's guide. This evening to tomorrow there will be a 0.1.4 release
containing the new functionality.
I would like to use your detector for an integration test. This
integration test would be a multi-project build where detector would
be build in one project and the test groovy project would depend on
this. Is it possible for you to send the sources of the detector?
Would you put them under Apache v2?

And finally, what about using a different version of groovy for your
actual build scripts.
I'd expect build scripts to be compatible with the Groovy version used
internally by Gradle. Otherwise things might get too complicated.
As we think about offering additional languages to Groovy for the
build scripts we anyway need a very strong decoupling. Anyway, this
is not on the agenda right now.
