Description

@ToString does not appear to work for enums. This code does not cause a toString method to be generated and it should:

@groovy.transform.ToString 
enum MyEnum {
  FOO('foo'), 
  BAR('bar'); 
  String prop
  MyEnum(String p) {prop = p }
}

println MyEnum.FOO.toString()

THere might be a larger issue with AST Transforms on Enums in general. See thread here: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/AST-transformations-for-enum-td3295912.html
