Describe the bug
SonarQube 10.3 server crashes at startup when both ecoCode-android and Groovy plugins are onboard.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start SonarQube server with ecoCode-android and Groovy plugins onboard,
2. SonarQube crashes with the following error:

Expected behavior
SonarQube should start up with both plugins onboard.

Additional context

SonarQube version: 10.3.0 Enterprise Edition
ecoCode-android version : 1.1.0
Groovy plugin: 1.8

SonarQube launches well with only one of the two plugins.

With the ecoCode-android plugins installed, there are 3 rules created for the Groovy language, whereas the Groovy plugin integrates 385 rules and activates 58 in the "Sonar way" profile.

Although the Groovy plugin is unmaintained, it still works on SonarQube versions 9.9 LTS, 10.2.1 and 10.3 and is used in our company.

It's a sad fact that these plugins look like to be incompatible, especially as it seems that much of the Groovy language analysis code of ecoCode-android plugin comes from the Groovy plugin.

Hello,

sorry for the delay of the response. The fact that the two plugins can't work at the same time is a problem indeed. We will try to fix that.

Thanks
