Description

We are trying to integrate some parts of the Groovy-Eclipse patch on the Groovy compiler back into the compiler itself. One such change is this.

Before the first line of org.codehaus.groovy.control.ResolveVisitor.transformVariableExpression(VariableExpression), can you add this:

visitAnnotations(ve); 

For consistency, this ensures that Annotations on variable expressions are included in transforms.
