# An illegal reflective access operation has occurred

Groovy 2.4 was released 21 Jan 2015, and it has reached [end of life](https://endoflife.date/apache-groovy). JDK 11 was released on September 25, 2018 (with long-term-support \[LTS]). And bringing both together in a modern IDE results in an <mark style="color:red;">WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred</mark>, when running a script.

Finally, I was able to get rid of that message:

{% endcontent-ref %}
