Hi Paul, That worked great. Thank you!
However, it would be very convenient if I could specify the -cp using the "java -jar" method like so: java -jar groovy-3.0.9-indy.jar -cp . TestGroovy The reason is that the example I gave you is a simplified example of what I am actually doing. Although the method you gave me does work in my situation too, it is situationally somewhat awkward. It would be very convenient if the groovy jar accepted and used the -cp command. Is there any way I can do that? (Just FYI, I am working on https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss In particular, see section 7 of https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss/blob/master/manual/man/index.html ) Thanks!
