Release a groovy 2.3 version of spock-core

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe the enhancement you have in mind.

Would you please release a version of spock using groovy-2.3.

Which particular problem would this enhancement solve for you?

When testing a gradle plugin for gradle 2.1 and using

testCompile 'org.spockframework:spock-core:0.7-groovy-2.0'

I get the following exception

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

        Caused by:
        groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Conflicting module versions. Module [groovy-all is loaded in version 2.3.6 and you are trying to load version 2.0.5

so for now I need to add a workaround

testCompile('org.spockframework:spock-core:0.7-groovy-2.0') {
  exclude group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', module: 'groovy-all'
}

Please provide any additional information below. You can also assign
labels.

Point taken, but the problem isn't related to 2.3 support. The Spock POM has a 
Groovy dependency for convenience, but if Groovy is used for things other than 
testing, then you'll have to force the desired version.

Does it mean that spock 0.7 should work out of the box on groovy 2.3.6? Why not 
create a convenience package for groovy-2.3 then?
