The provider doesn't really know anything about language features, so it shouldn't matter, its really about providing compatibility with the API of the compiler/internals of the Groovy language version.

What does load.groovy look like?

I'm at home now and haven't got access to the code but I'll post it, or a simplified version of it, tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I took another look at running the file this morning and it turned out Eclipse was removing the groovy.transform.Field import on save.

eclipse is so nice and helpful ;-)

Always ;) Hopefully going back to IntelliJ next week.
