1) Bootstrapping groovy with bash in the groovy script:

#!/bin/bash                                                                                                                                                                 
//usr/bin/env groovy  -cp extra.jar:some-spring-jar.jar:etc.jar -d -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/etc/myapp/log4j.xml "$0" $@; exit $?
import org.springframework.class.from.jar
//... code goes here...
println 'Wicket!'

2) Adding libraries in directory .groovy/lib for any client of your script.

3) Using Grape:
@Grab(group='commons-lang', module='commons-lang', version='2.4')

@Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', module='http-builder', version='0.5.0-RC2')
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient;

def resp = new RESTClient('http://localhost:8081').
		post([path : '/something/',
        	  body :[input1:['value'], input2:['value']],
        	  contentType : 'application/json'])

print resp.responseData
