Usage in grails 4.0.1

[bronoman]

I migrated an app to grails 4.0.1 and unfortunately, the plugin does not seem to work. Please see the stacktrace below.
Any ideas / hints / suggestions?

Comment: The error looks like it could have to do with the deprecated parse method for dates (both Java and Groovy)...

Looks like a deprecated method on Date here https://github.com/TouK/excel-export/blob/b9179acc828dfb5720261680158625fbde3b92c3/src/main/groovy/pl/touk/excel/export/WebXlsxExporter.groovy#L18C1-L20C6
