Warning "illegal reflective access" when used with JDK 11

[lbruun]

When using JDK 11 I get the following warning:

14:54:54 [INFO] Using jgitver configuration file: /tmp/workspace/e.kutnot_develop-NAASHCQUDR4LVAYMKRQMG5YDHZTILJZ33S7CQGOI6NFXSMDBVNXQ/.mvn/jgitver.config.xml

A bit of Google'ing reveals that the warning will disappear if Groovy 3.x or later is used.
