> Adding the Gaelyk annotation @Entity results in a stack trace during 
> compilation.  In addition, no informative message is given as to which groovy 
> file caused the issue.
> At the very least, a more explicative message (not a stack trace) should be 
> given to the user as well as informing the user which file could not be 
> compile.
> In a more general case, any stack trace that is thrown should have a message 
> included with it stating the offending file name.
> Example:
> {code}
> @Entity
> class Favorite {
>     Date created
> }
> {code}
