groovy と Jersey Client を一緒に使おうとすると、実行時に IncompatibleClassChangeError が発生した。

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor, but class was expected

Solving asm conflicts after upgrading to Groovy 2.1 - Jayway このページによると、 asm のバージョンが jersey と groovy とで競合しているのが原因ぽい。

jersey が org.glassfish.hk2.external:asm-all-repackaged:2.2.0-b21 に依存してて、 groovy が org.ow2.asm:asm:4.0 に依存してる。
（jersey-common が asm に依存しているから、たぶん Client じゃなくてもこの問題は発生すると思われる）

jersey の方の asm を推移的な依存関係の管理から外すと解決する。

build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile ('org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-client:2.5.1') {
        exclude module: 'asm-all-repackaged'
    }
    compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.0.7'
}
