Project won't compile when creating custom Annotation

[Eric Ettes]

Hi all,

I have a strange problem whenever I try to create a custom annotation. Whenever I create an empty annotation like this:

public @interface SearchField {

}

and try to run my app, it won't compile with a lot of errors:

| Error Compilation error: startup failed:

/Users/eric/Documents/IntelliJ IDEA/App/grails-app/domain/nl/app/annotation/SearchField.groovy: -1: Method 'initErrors' is private but should be public in interface 'nl.app.annotation.SearchField'.

 @ line -1, column -1.

.

. ^ About 50 of those lines for different fields/methods

.

General error during class generation: org.codehaus.groovy.ast.stmt.BlockStatement cannot be cast to org.codehaus.groovy.ast.stmt.ReturnStatement

The weird thing is that it does work for a colleague of mine.

I'm running java version "1.6.0_33" on OSX 10.7.4 and the app is using Grails 2.0.4

My colleague is running java version "1.7.0_3" on Windows 7, also using Grails 2.0.4

Is anyone experiencing the same problems and/or has anyone found a solution to this?

Kind regards,

Put the annotation type in src/groovy or src/java instead of
grails-app/domain.
