    Description

      if java.time is the recommended way to proceed forward when dealing with dates,
      java.time.* should be included automatically similar to how java.util.Date is currently available without import. 

      The preferred approach would be to make it a global import which would be in line with existing Groovy handling of java.util.Date

       
      The least invasive  approach would be to make the import only apply if groovy-datetime module has been added.
       
      implementation "org.apache.groovy:groovy-datetime"
       
      should automatically import java.time.* to all classes
       
      This provides an easier migration path from Date -> DateTIme
