Description

sample code:

groovy.ui.Console console = new groovy.ui.Console();

console.run();

 

This throws errors when run on Mac OS with JAVA 9:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:

script15169878466701558877614.groovy: 6: unable to resolve class MRJQuitHandler 

 @ line 6, column 1.

   class ConsoleMacOsSupport implements MRJQuitHandler, MRJAboutHandler {

   ^

script15169878466701558877614.groovy: 6: unable to resolve class MRJAboutHandler 

 @ line 6, column 1.

   class ConsoleMacOsSupport implements MRJQuitHandler, MRJAboutHandler {

   ^

 __ 

2 errors

 

The issue is probably linked to the reflective access to internal Apple APIs through the OSX Adapter, which is flagged as illegal and blocked in Java 9.
