Groovy-eclipse - confused by annotations on enum values

[simonmarshall]

If i place an annotation on an enum value, it doesn't work. It doesn't identify the annotation as a syntax error, but it does mis-highlight it and refuse to import the annotation class (if that is necessary). The same code (when ported) works fine in Java.

Here's how I can reproduce it:

• download eclipse-jee-neon-3-win32-x86_64.zip
• run eclipse
• create new workspace
• install new software using http://dist.springsource.org/snapshot/GRECLIPSE/e4.6/ and select all and install
• create new project containing attached source
• see file A.groovy contains:
  @Target([ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.TYPE]) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @interface A { String value() }
• see file E.groovy contains:
  @A("C") enum E { @A("B") C }
• see script S.groovy contains:
  println 'Class annotations = ' + E.class.getAnnotations()
println 'Field annotations = ' + E.class.getField(E.C.name()).getAnnotations()
• run script and you will see:

Class annotations = [@enumsgroovy.A(value=C)]
Field annotations = []

such that it has not found the annotation on E.C.
