Try this in Groovy Console:

// class compiles fine
@Deprecated
@Deprecated
@Deprecated
class IAmWayTooDeprecated {}

// this works
new IAmWayTooDeprecated()

// but accessing the annotations at runtime fails with:
// java.lang.annotation.AnnotationFormatError: Duplicate 
// annotation for class: interface java.lang.Deprecated: 
// @java.lang.Deprecated()
println IAmWayTooDeprecated.annotations.size()
