I uploaded Groovy 2.1.6 to experimental and I rebuilt freeplane
against that version without any issues. Of course, more testing is
needed to determine if everything is working as expected. I also need
to rebuild the rest of reverse build dependencies to determine how
much breakage is introduced.
However, I don't expect to upload Groovy 2.x to unstable any time soon
because it Build-Depends on Gradle and it has a hard coded dependency
on 1.8.6. So, if that Groovy version would get uploaded to unstable
right now, Groovy and Gradle are going to be broken due to FTBFS bugs.
Gradle upstream is not clear about when they are going to provide a
suitable version usable with Groovy 2.x.
I'll upload a more recent Groovy release when time permits (they
released 2.1.9 some days ago).
Cheers,
