[xwiki-users] Groovy version

[Michael Baehr]

A quick check replacing groovy-all-1.0-jsr06.jar with groovy-all-1.0.jar 
shows 4 errors in GroovyTemplateEngine.

There seems to be a typo in the old Groovy version, naming a method 
MetaClassRegistry.getIntance()  (instead of getInstance() - note the 
missing 's').

Renaming those methods makes XWiki compilable (at least in Eclipse), so 
I don't think there would be a big problem to use the Groovy 1.0 release 
- as long as there are no Groovy scripts somewhere that might break due 
to changes in the Groovy language itself.
