Description

I am using Gradle which internally currently uses Groovy 2.4.12.

I am getting the following error:

martin@martin-desktop:~/devel/apollo/buildteam/gradle_plugins(master)$ ./gradlew clean test

> Task :compileGroovy
startup failed:
/home/martin/devel/apollo/buildteam/gradle_plugins/src/main/groovy/apollosoft/build/support/gradle/assets/ApolloAssetsDSLExtension.groovy: 54: [Static type checking] - Cannot use diamond <> with anonymous inner classes
 @ line 54, column 28.
           closure.delegate = new Object() {
                              ^

1 error

It looks like it is wrong, I am not specifying any diamond operator anywhere.
