Description

The following code throws an exception

import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder
def i = "One"
new SwingBuilder().menuItem("Option $i")

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to create component for 'menuItem' reason: java.lang.RuntimeException: menuItem can only have a value argument of type javax.swing.Action, javax.swing.Icon, java.lang.String, or javax.swing.JMenuItem

This may happen in other parts of the builder. A proposed solution is to register a attribute delegate that converts to strings all values that are actually GStrings before the node is instantiated.
