-----------------------------------------
Summary: AnnotationCollector should disregard @Target and
@Retention
Key: GROOVY-7667
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7667
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.4.5
Reporter: Christopher Smith
Priority: Minor
I attempted to set up an annotation-inheritance situation using
{{@AnnotationCollector}}, and I wrote the intermediate collector in Java. Since
the intermediate collector was applied to my leaf collector, I put
{{@Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE)}} on the intermediate collector, but it
appears that Groovy copied that annotation to the final target class, where it
wasn't allowed and produced a compiler error.
I suggest that {{@Target}} and {{@Retention}} should be specifically ignored
when added to a collector annotation.
