Groovy Mud is a Java based MUD OS that uses Groovy code for the mud library

You can now try out an installation of GrooyMud! Connect now on telnet://zeno.biyg.org:2223 !!

The engine allows you to concentrate on writing a MUD in Groovy, rather than having to deal with complex inventory, messaging and movement handling that happens in all MUDS.

It has an example MUD written in Groovy that comes with the engine, so you can use the building blocks to build your own.
