Any macOS users around who can test groovyConsole on JDK10?

[Paul King <pa...@asert.com.au>]

I don't have access to macOS at the moment. If anyone does and can spare a
few moments to run groovyConsole from the CI server snapshots:

http://ci.groovy-lang.org/repository/download/Groovy_Jdk8Build_PlusSnapshotDeploy/51518:id/target/distributions/apache-groovy-binary-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

It would be great to see if the quick hack I did for GROOVY-8718 works. It
should work (at least in theory if I have understood the suggested changes
correctly) for JDK8, 10 and 11 snapshot releases.

If anyone knows a better way to do this, please feel free to back out my
change and do something else:
https://github.com/apache/groovy/commit/5e026fd46

Thanks for any feedback,

Cheers, Paul.

I couldn't get the URL (no login), but I tried the tip of master on Java 9 and 10, and the console started with both, using ./gradlew console from the repo root.

Both threw a strange syntax error on start:
> Task :groovy-console:console

1 error

but the console worked just fine after that.
