Sample test of groovy embedding using GroovyScriptEngine with reloadable capability

This is an example exploring ways to integrate groovy with java code, with a view to enable quick protoyping by using groovy features and reloading of changes on the fly. The idea is to run the app and to prototype in groovy with the app running with the option to turn the running code to java at the end.

To run type gradle bootRun

To type enter: curl http://localhost:8080/greeting

You with get the Hello world greeting:

Hello, world!

From the "hello.featurex.Dependency.message", now if you edit the message and change it to Hello, world2! And do
curl http://localhost:8080/greeting

You will get back: Hello, world2!

No restart required!

Editing and changing the groovy ReloadTest will return a diferent response evrey time
