/**
 * Used to add a repository for resolving Grape dependencies.
 * 
 * For example:
 * 
 * {@code @GrabResolver}(name='restlet.org', root='http://maven.restlet.org')
 * {@code @Grab}(group='org.restlet', module='org.restlet', version='1.1.6')
 * class MyRestlet extends org.restlet.Restlet {
 *   // ...
 * }
 * 
 * By default, the Grapes subsystem uses an Ivy chained resolver. Each resolver
 * added using {@code @GrabResolver} is appended to the chain. By default, the grape
 * subsystem is shared globally, so added resolvers will become available for any subsequent
 * grab calls. Dependency resolution follows Ivy's artifact resolution which tries
 * to resolve artifacts in the order specified in the chain of resolvers.
 * 
 * Further information about customising grape behavior can be found on the Grape documentation page:
 * http://groovy-lang.org/grape.html.
