I've made a simple test : A simple Java source can be used succesfully 
as a groovy script and used as scripted bean.
This allows me to code on a running application !
As I use .java file from my Eclipse IDE, I have a natural restriction 
not to use groovy code not beeing java compatible, so I can use the same 
java source file as groovy bean in devs and as class in target 
(production) environment.

My test was very simple, so I don't know if groovy may run complex java 
files, but this looks a very exciting solution, with high productivity 
in mind.

That beeing said, it may be cleaner to have a "pure" java 
compiler/script engine to turn source java file into scripted-bean.
