Given that Groovy is set to become an Apache project (see http://incubator.apache.org/projects/groovy.html for current incubator status), it would be great if JMeter were to ship with a groovy-all jar in the distribution package. If supporting Java 6 and lower is not a concern (http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html seems to imply Java 6 is still supported), we could use the groovy-all-indy, which uses invokedynamic. Otherwise, as long as there's support for Java 6, it would need to be the regular groovy-all jar. I sent an email out to the jmeter-dev mailing list a couple days ago and the response I got was that it'd been discussed previously, and it was decided to wait until Groovy passed incubation, so it might be a while before this ticket can be worked on.
