Cannot compile grails project using groovy-eclipse-batch

Good morning,
I am not able to compile project using groovy eclipse compiler (groovy-eclipse-batch-2.4.3-01.jar). I get following errors
`2016-12-09 16:27:01,069 [4514581] INFO - j.compiler.server.BuildManager - BUILDER_PROCESS [stderr]: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: junit.framework.TestCase

It is reproducable by creating basic grails project using commands:
`grails create-plugin simple
cd simple/
grails integrate-with –intellij
grails create-domain-class Book`
then opening project in IDEA, changing compiler to groovy-eclipse-batch and running the BookSpec test

What I tried:
1. adding junit-4.4 jar as module depandency
2. inserting all junit classes into groovy-eclipse-batch-2.4.3-01.jar
3. changing 'project bytecode version' 1.7/1.8

IDEA version:
IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.5
Build #IU-162.2228.15, built on October 14, 2016
JRE: 1.8.0_112-release-287-b2 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

Please help :)
Cheers,
Michael

Reproduce the failure with the listed Grails commands, IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.5, and groovy-eclipse-batch-2.4.3-01.jar, then run the generated BookSpec test. Start from the compiler integration and the ClassNotFoundException for junit.framework.TestCase; done means the basic Grails project compiles and BookSpec runs with that compiler.
