After the Groovy 2.5 upgrade, the Spring Framework build on JDK9 hit GROOVY-8631. Adding the relevant `jax-api` dependency to the module didn't fix this issue. The Groovy release notes mention the use of the `--add-modules` JVM flag, but this is not an option for this build which should run on JDK8 -> JDK11. This commit changes the dependency from `groovy-all` to more focused dependencies on Groovy in the `spring-beans` and `spring-context` modules. This change seems to avoid the automatic loading of Groovy enhancements to JAXB (shipped with `groovy-xml`).
