Issue Summary

After Jira 10, Groovy scripts that utilize the java.util.Date class with methods like .parse(), .format(), .plus(), and .minus() no longer works using Assets Groovy Console and in Assets Automation.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the below script in Assets Groovy Console - _https://JIRA_BASE_URL/secure/admin/InsightPluginInitScriptConsole.jspa_

   import java.util.Date
   import org.apache.log4j.Logger
   
   try {
   Date parsedDate = Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd", "2025-03-31")
   } catch (MissingMethodException e) {
      log.error("Caught an exception: ", e)
   }
   

Expected Results

Code should work.
