@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE)
@Target({
        ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR,
        ElementType.FIELD,
        ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE,
        ElementType.METHOD,
        ElementType.PARAMETER,
        ElementType.TYPE})
public @interface Grab

Used to grab the referenced artifact and its dependencies and make it available on the Classpath.

Some examples:

 @Grab(group='commons-lang', module='commons-lang', version='2.4')
 import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils
 println "Hello ${WordUtils.capitalize('world')}"

Or using the compact Gradle-inspired syntax:

 @Grab('commons-lang:commons-lang:2.4')
 import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils
 println "Hello ${WordUtils.capitalize('world')}"

or the same thing again using the Ivy-inspired syntax variant:

 @Grab('commons-lang#commons-lang;2.4')
 import org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils
 println "Hello ${WordUtils.capitalize('world')}"

Further information such as where artifacts are downloaded to, how to add additional resolvers, how to customise artifact resolution etc., can be found on the Grape documentation page: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Grape.
