>
> The ClassHelper class in almost all cases creates class nodes for its static
> fields using the {{makeWithoutCaching}} method. There are 2 exceptions:
> {{Annotation}} and {{Enum}}. My understanding is that this is a holdover
> from the pre-Java5 days. The problem is that this has huge memory
> ramifications on Groovy-Eclipse. So, I would like to see this changed.
