[starter-dev] Maven Archetype: groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine Not Foun

[Reza Rahman <reza_rahman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi there!

I am writing on behalf of the official Jakarta EE Starter project:
https://start.jakarta.ee. We make use of Maven Archetypes in the Starter
under the hood.

We are pretty dependent on Groovy and
use groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine for some critical functionality:
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/starter/blob/ca9b5028b7fe3b47ecf4b5e5c22e89bc941e99a0/archetype/src/main/resources/META-INF/archetype-post-generate.groovy#L144.

A few days ago we noticed that the Archetype is suddenly broken with the
following error: unable to resolve class
groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine. This seems to coincide with the 3.3.0
release of maven-archetype-plugin. Any idea what is going on and how to
fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Reza
