Description

Define a class in Groovy with:

@Property String[] fieldNames = [ 'street1', 'street2', 'city', 'state', 'zip', 'country' ];

GroovyClassLoader parses this successfully. However, calling Class.newInstance() will throw ClassCastException from within the Groovy object's constructor. Removing that property from the class causes the exception to go away, so I'm certain it is the cause of the problem.

The same problem exists on 1.0-jsr-1 and 1.0-beta-6.
