Failure building groovy_binary

[mattmoor]

I get the following failure attempting to get a basic groovy_binary rule working:

$ bazel run java/examples:HelloGroovy 
INFO: Found 1 target...

@damienmg @kchodorow FYI

[steren]

@ekuefler you seem the most active in our Groovy rules, can you take a look?

[mattmoor]

@steren it looks like @ekuefler opened an issue against the Bazel repo (see link above) last year (ouch). Any chance we can get someone to TAL?

[ekuefler]

Yeah, just pinged that bug, still waiting for a response on it before I can look into resolving this

[ekuefler]

@philwo looks to have put together a fix for this, so I've drafted an 0.0.2 release of rules_groovy to try it out.

@mattmoor @robbiexperiel, could you try this out? All you should need to do is update the url and strip_prefix fields for Groovy in your WORKSPACE to refer to 0.0.2, along with updating the sha256 hash to whatever it says. If this solves the problem for you I'll make the release official.

[robbiexperiel]

I just tested on bazel 0.4.5 and it worked! Thanks @philwo and @ekuefler!
