My favorite approach to using groovy in projects is with the groovy compiler plugin for maven. Compile and bundle the resulting byte code. All you have to remember is too bundle the groovy runtime and remember how groovy interacts with Java natively. The one thing that disturbs me about groovy is that overloaded methods seems to only be signature checked at runtime, which results in an exception when invoked with the wrong parameters - not a compiler error.
