If you need to automate a fairly complex process – like a batch job – Groovy may come in handy. Designing a Java batch job is typically a task that involves the following mechanisms:
Job control infrastructure that triggers the job as a shell command
A script that (e.g. ant) that initializes the class path and triggers [...]
