'Eclipse Groovy: Conflicting module versions when runing unittest

I'm using Eclipse 2022-03 (4.23.0) with Groovy DevTools of 4.5.0.v202203311327-e2203-RELEASE.

My dependencies are as follows:

dependencies {
  implementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:$groovyVersion"
  implementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-json:$groovyVersion"
  implementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-templates:$groovyVersion"
  implementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-dateutil:$groovyVersion"
  implementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-yaml:$groovyVersion"
    
  testImplementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:$groovyVersion"
  testImplementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-xml:$groovyVersion"
}

with groovyVersion=3.0.10.

When I run a test like this one:

class GrantASTTransformationTest extends GroovyTestCase {

  @Test
  void 'some test'() {
    fail 'not implemented'
  }
}

the exception is thrown:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I "reacted" by including the following line into my Gradle-dependencies:

implementation "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-swing:$groovyVersion"

then the test goes red with an expected exception:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: not implemented

That seems weird enough of course, as I'm not using groovy-swing in my app.

Any proper way to fix the issue?
