Description

This issue got highlighted in GROOVY-3925 discussion.

GROOVY-3852 disallowed duplicate annotations of the same type on the same member, but instead of doing it only for annotations with retention-policy as RUNTIME, it applies it as a general check, which is coming in the way of using multiple @GrabResolver annotations.

I am creating this separate JIRA to allow multiple SOURCE annotations again, which may partly solve GROOVY-3925.
