Bug#614891: groovy: command line tools are unusable

[Miguel Landaeta]

Package: groovy
Version: 1.8.0~beta4-1
Severity: normal

The version encoded in the filename of groovy and groovy-all
jars is incorrect and breaks the command line tools like
groovysh, groovy or groovyc.

The filenames should be like groovy-1.8.0-beta-4.jar and not
groovy-1.8.0~beta4.jar.
