Basically, when I jar up my groovy class and drop it in lib/user, I get an exception, but if I embed the same class in my groovy component script it works.

Seems like a groovy class loading issue to me.

e.g. The following Foo.groovy works:

////////////////////////////////////
final def bar = new Bar()

class Bar {
public Bar() { println "IT WORKS!" }
}
////////////////////////////////////

However, if I take Bar above, put it in Bar.groovy, compile it, jar it, and drop it in $MULE_HOME/lib/user, then I get an error.
