Freeplane add-on manager is not compatible with Groovy 2.4.4+

[Gergely Papp]

Add-ons cannot be installed, the dimensions of the installer window is not calculated using proper precedence in mind. Installation fails looking for constructor Dimension(BigDecimal,BigDecimal).
Failiure is due to newer version of groovy (2.4.4+) on newer Linuxes, which use Java like precedence. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-5185 for more information on precedence change.

See upstream bug at: https://sourceforge.net/p/freeplane/bugs/2330/

hi Gergely,

we applied your patch upstream. Since 1.5.x should be released soon (beta state),
I think it does not make much sense to make a freeplane-1.3.15-4 package with this
change. I will do this if there is indication that the release will be delayed.

Many Thanks for the patch!
Felix
