> The ClassHelper class in almost all cases creates class nodes for its static fields using the {{makeWithoutCaching}} method.  There are 2 exceptions: {{Annotation}} and {{Enum}}.  My understanding is that this is a holdover from the pre-Java5 days.  The problem is that this has huge memory ramifications on Groovy-Eclipse. So, I would like to see this changed.
