I would aim at installing a new version of Groovy independently of the
existing Groovy 2.x package, so the user should be able to choose which
one the user wants and smoothly transition. In addition, there could be,
in analogy to the earlier situation in the Python area, a
"groovy-is-grovy2" or a "groovy-is-groovy4" package to configure a
system-wide preference.

I am inclined to try to start over because at least I could already not
incorporate the changes required for Groovy3. I guess the changes
required for Groovy4 or -5 would be even bigger. As I said initially,
I'm not a Java developer at all, so I'll definitely need some help here.

Kind regards,
Toni
