Running "Inspect Ast" (Ctrl-T) throws the below exception. The AST browser still opens and looks like usable. This only happens in Groovy 1.8.

I also had problems that the tree view in the AST browser was not showing anything due to NoClassDefFound execptions for Swing classes but I cannot reproduce this at the moment.
