grails `run app` crashes due to unverifiable bytecode

[DanHeidinga]

Steps to Reproduce

See adoptium/adoptium-support#92

Expected Behaviour

Grails should run without specifying -Xverify:none.

See https://github.com/grails/grails-core/blob/6658f864c0a6287d0ed5f60b5ac67c370c45fdcb/grails-gradle-plugin/src/main/groovy/org/grails/gradle/plugin/core/GrailsExtension.groovy#L79 for where it adds it by default.

Actual Behaviour

Segfault as shown in adoptium/adoptium-support#92

Removing the -Xverify:none results in the following java.lang.VerifyError:

:bootRunError: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: JVMVRFY012 stack shape inconsistent; class=grails/boot/config/GrailsAutoConfiguration, method=<clinit>()V, pc=0

Later versions of grails use the Gradle bootRun task and do not have verify specified as a default argument. Closing this ...
