Re: Errors with using the builder annotation

This seems to work for me:

import groovy.transform.builder.Builder

@Builder(builderClassName = "MyBuilder")
class NoMembers {
    private int privateInt;
    public int publicInt;
    static int staticInt = 1;
}

class MyOtherClass {
    public boolean containsValidFieldValues(List<Integer> expectedFieldValues) {
        NoMembers.builder().build()
    }
}

assert new MyOtherClass().containsValidFieldValues([])

The normal usage is all set up to avoid any problems with class resolution.

Cheers, Paul.
