In fact, 7u40 will not remove the method but it will throw an 
UnsupportedOperationException unless you use a JVM flag to re-enable it. 
Honestly, I think this is a PITA, as most users will just find Groovy 
broken. As for JDK 8 and the solution, unfortunately Jochen will not be 
at the JVM Summit this year (he has to pay on his own to get there), but 
I'm sure he would be glad to discuss it.
