2022-12 (v 4.8.0) Eclipse (latest) is incompatible with latest Groovy Plugin

[scottwdavidson]

When I attempt to install latest Groovy Plugin, I get the following error ( using a brand new, 2022-12 latest, instance of Eclipse ):

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

⚠️ It is not possible to install GDT into one of the Eclipse 4.26 package releases (aka Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, etc.) due to a JDT version restriction in org.eclipse.epp.package.common.feature. GDT installs normally starting from the Eclipse Platform Runtime. More details can be found here: #1425

Similar but different error using Eclipse Platform Runtime :
