Launching Spring Boot in Groovy with Grab

Since launch of Spring Boot I was wondering why it needs separate CLI, especially for Groovy where there is already Grab. Of course CLI provides some additional features, like reloading and out of the box dependencies, but why no one runs Boot with vanilla Groovy? So I tried it myself, and it looks like problem is that there is conflict with default Groovy libs, because standard installation includes servlet-api-2.4.jar which does not work with current Tomcat or Jetty, and as there is no anything like fork mode in Grails, there is only one way to avoid it - not to load this jar (delete it or use custom load conf).

Otherwise this works fine for me:

@Grab("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.0.2.RELEASE")
@Grab("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator:1.0.2.RELEASE")
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*

@RestController
@EnableAutoConfiguration
class ThisWillActuallyRun {

  @RequestMapping("/")
  String home() {
    "Hello World!"
  }
}
SpringApplication.run(ThisWillActuallyRun, args)
