Connection timeout when using Java CLI convenience class

Issue

• Groovy script uses the Java API to connect to CLI:

def cli = CLI.newInstance()
cli.connect(myHost,myPort,"****","****".toCharArray() )

• The following error:

Caught: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to connect to controller.
