Description

I'm wondering if it would be possible to upgrade Camel 2.x to latest 2.x Groovy version.

Camel 2.25.3 is using Groovy 2.5.5 https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/01c991a556c1443afc529b44d71f9aeba6dc65a7/pom.xml#L66

latest Groovy 2.x is 2.5.14 https://groovy.apache.org/download.html

Notably, it contains this fix https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9211 which allows to use jdk 14+

This would be convenient for Eclipse Desktop Fuse Tooling as Eclipse Desktop 2020-12 is embedding Java 15 by default and it is still using Camel 2.x internally and it is planned to continue providing tooling for 2.x versions.
