Well - this would help if it was part of the Console app. I don't really want to pop this
code in to each script just for testing purposes.
Furthermore, it would also be nice if the console could setup the args[] & stdin features.
This would mean:
Ø Ability to pass parameters to scripts (to emulate a command line)
Ø Pipe output of an o/s statement to the current script. [dir c:/ | <this script>].
The console would need to launch the o/s command etc.
..and so the wish list grows!!

Does this - http://jroller.com/ethdsy/entry/disabling_system_exit - help ?

I note that the useful GroovyConsole will exit if the script being run hits a System.exit().
This is understandable when the script runs in that same thread as the Console. But it would
be really useful to be able to run scripts in a separate thread to protect against exit()
[and to display the exit value] and also for scripts with infinite loops that need to be killed!
And, maybe, it would also allow these scripts to obtain the 'console' object for keyboard
input?
Console cons = System.console()
Boolean isWorking () {
if (!cons)
{
println "Cannot open a console for input"
//always the case under GroovyConsole
}
return (cons != null)
}
