Well I agree Groovy attempts to add in language features not present in Java, groovy had closures from the start etc. And as Java implements the feature it will get removed from groovy due to redundancy tokenparser etc.
Absolutely not!
Groovy is self sustained language and independent entity.
Well actually it does because then its redundant to have it in groovy. Here is an interview with the developers of groovy discussing new features, additions and removals from the language InfoQ Groovy & Grails Developers.
Java could have closuers/lambdas as many as it wants, this isn't going to affect Groovy language in any way.
