Is it possible to specify Java System Properties when running Groovy from command line

Question

Equivalent to java -Dprop="abc" app, but using groovy, like groovy -Dprop="abc" app.groovy

Basically the same question asked here, but negative answers there are relatively old. Anything new support this since 2007?

Answer 1

Sure; it works as-is:

$ cat sysenv.groovy
println System.getProperty("wat")
$ groovy -Dwat="hello" sysenv.groovy 
hello
