Hi Alex.

The way to scenario reproducing the problem is about defining custom annotations (I think 
test/annotation).
If you convert the samples:annotationc task to use instead the AnnotationCTask the test will not 
work anymore as the annotations are not injected (you will get a ClassCastException from 
AnnotationManager.instantiateAnnotation method: Annotation class was loaded by Ant specific 
classloader and the custom annotation class is loaded by the URLClassLoader which is a sibling and 
not a child of Ant classloader). This problem is the same as the one with AspectWerkzCTask.

Pls let me know if you can reproduce it the way explained above. Otherwise I think I can send you 
some short sample.
