Can I write annotation in Groovy?

Question

I know I can annotate my classes in Groovy with annotations, but can I write the annotation itself in Groovy (as opposed to just using annotation written in Java)? If so, from what version?

Answer 1

Yes you can. Take a look at this link: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Annotations+with+Groovy

Answer 2

Defining of annotations in groovy is not yet supported by the compiler. Since, there is a joint compiler it is not a big problem but sure does take some groovy-ness away from groovy :-)
