a Groovy Utility class :)

I wrote a Groovy utility class to help with setting Bindings for the GroovyShell. Additionally, I wrote a method that completely encapsulates the GroovyShell entirely.

import groovy.lang.Binding;
import groovy.lang.GroovyShell;

import org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationFailedException;

public final class GroovyUtil {
    /**
     * Utility method to set up bindings.
     *
     * @param bind the string you're binding
     * @param obj  to bind to.
     * @return the Binding object
     */
    public static Binding bindTo(String bind, Object obj) {
        Binding b = new Binding();
        b.setVariable(bind, obj);
        return b;
    }

    /**
     * Utility method to get a shell with the specified binding
     *
     * @param bind the binding
     * @return the shell instance.

    public static GroovyShell getShell(Binding bind) {
        return new GroovyShell(bind);
    }

    /**

     *
     * @param bind binding String
     * @param obj  Object binding
     * @param code script code.

    public static void exec(String bind, Object obj, String code)
        throws CompilationFailedException {
        if ((obj == null) || (bind == null) || bind.equals("")) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("No binding specified.");
        }

        GroovyUtil.getShell(GroovyUtil.bindTo(bind, obj)).evaluate(code);
    }
