Description

This is a follow-up of GROOVY-6019

Regarding this PR https://github.com/groovy/groovy-core/pull/143
I'm trying to use spring-data-elasticsearch annotations

Document.java

@Persistent
@Inherited
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ElementType.TYPE})
public @interface Document {
	String indexName();
	String type() default "";
	short shards() default 5;
	short replicas() default 1;
	String refreshInterval() default "1s";
	String indexStoreType() default "fs";
}

Using groovy 2.3.9 and java 1.8.0_25 with this annotation:

@Document(indexName = "articles", type = "article", shards = 1, replicas = 0, refreshInterval = "-1", indexStoreType = "memory")

I get the following errors:
Error:(13, 62) Groovyc: Attribute 'shards' should have type 'java.lang.Short'; but found type 'int' in @org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.annotations.Document
Error:(13, 76) Groovyc: Attribute 'replicas' should have type 'java.lang.Short'; but found type 'int' in @org.springframework.data.elasticsearch.annotations.Document

Could this be a regression?
