  static getChecksum(file, type) {
    def digest = MessageDigest.getInstance(type)
    def inputstream = file.newInputStream()
    def buffer = new byte[16384]
    def len

    while((len=inputstream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
      digest.update(buffer, 0, len)
    }
    def sha1sum = digest.digest()

    def result = ""
    for(byte b : sha1sum) {
      result += toHex(b)
    }
    return result
  }

  private static hexChr(int b) {
    return Integer.toHexString(b & 0xF)
  }

  private static toHex(int b) {
    return hexChr((b & 0xF0) >> 4) + hexChr(b & 0x0F)
  }

  static def main(args) {
    def sha1sum = Checksum.getSha1sum(new File(args[0]))
    println "file($args[0]): sha1sum($sha1sum)"
  }

}

Note: the outcome of these checksums are the same as the ones called from unix, like

% sha1sum file.bin

I've fixed an unclosed resource and the examples in the comment.

Hi @marcelmaatkamp,

I've expanded the functionality to accept a String as input as well.

You can look the complete implementation from here: https://gist.github.com/ivarmu/5d412feea8dd2edd923b174435e7c643
