Answer 1

are you using some third party library that brings in org.codehaus.groovy dependencies? If yes, you can try and replace the required groovy dependencies with the most current releases yourself.

In my case it was the org.liquibase:liquibase-groovy-dsl, so I did this:

    
        org.liquibase
        liquibase-groovy-dsl
        2.1.1
        
            
                org.codehaus.groovy
                groovy
            
            
                org.codehaus.groovy
                groovy-sql
            
        
    

    
        org.codehaus.groovy
        groovy
        3.0.3
    

    
        org.codehaus.groovy
        groovy-sql
        3.0.3
