Description

When run in a build using Java 11 (didn't test java 9,10) I get the warning:

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7$1 (file:[snip]/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/groovy/groovy/2.5.5/groovy-2.5.5.jar) to constructor java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup(java.lang.Class,int)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7$1
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

To be fair this is due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8339

So this issue is really a placeholder that at some point may require some work against a new version of groovy.

Of if you think it's really just blame upstream case, then this can be closed.
