https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/427
Compatibility in 2.4.x with Gradle's classloader cleanup
Gradle has a cleanup mechanism in place that reflectively accesses
the ClassInfo.klazz field. This change prevents an exception being
thrown by the cleanup method. This workaround also means that the
cleanup strategy will no longer work, the fix to replace klazz with a
WeakReference should eliminate the need for the explicit cleanup.
For more details, see dev mailing list thread:
