A sample configuration file for loading the groovy class path for better syntax checking in redcar (with some grails mixed in). Save as [project]/.redcar/classpath.groovy

classpath.groovy

// classpath retriever for all jars in project "lib" folder and compiled classes in project,
// plus a hacky way to load ivy dependencies (until I can get groovy Grape configured properly)

//import groovy.grape.Grape
//import groovy.util.ConfigObject
//import groovy.util.ConfigSlurper
