Description
This only seems to happen when using Java 11 version when running the executable jar. Tested in Linux only.
When opening the Groovy Console in the normal way from the Tools menu, the following error is generated and the Groovy console error dialog box appears.
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred

This appears to be related to a known groovy bug, so it is likely the specific version of the groovy jars in j11lib are to blame. See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8253
which suggests groovy 2.6.0 or above are patched (j11lib has 2.5.7, whereas j8lib has 2.4.12).
I don't know why it works okay when launched from getdown, or from separate jars. I suspect a class is defined more than once in the plethora of groovy-*-2.5.7.jar files, and the bad one is used in shadowJar, but the good one prevails in multiple jar scenario. ???
