4.0.2: Grails console startup fails with MissingMethodException, JMenu.setMnemonic

[longwa]

Starting with Grails 4.0.2, creating a new project and then running grails console results in a startup error:

2020-03-27 15:03:46.361 ERROR --- [  restartedMain] o.s.boot.SpringApplication               : Application run failed

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: javax.swing.JMenu.setMnemonic() is applicable for argument types: (String) values: [F]
Possible solutions: setMnemonic(char), setMnemonic(int), getMnemonic()

Looks like it might be due to this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8253

It does work in 4.0.1.

Running with OpenJDK 1.8.0_242, macOS.

Same problem with grails-4.0.4.

The groovy issue wasn't resolved in 2017?

Please update the Groovy version to 2.6.0-alpha-1 or higher.

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        if(details.requested.group == 'org.codehaus.groovy') {
            details.useVersion('2.6.0-alpha-4')
        }
    }
}

This issue is fixed with Grails 4.1.0.M2
