customAnnotator shows 'dynamic properties deprecated' warning when using Gradle plugin

[BlackHornet]

Using gradle 0.9.+ customAnnotator is deprecated and not used.

The TaskContainer.add() method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0. Please use the create() method instead. Creating properties on demand (a.k.a. dynamic properties) has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0. Please read http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.plugins.ExtraPropertiesExtension.html for information on the replacement for dynamic properties. Deprecated dynamic property: "customAnnotator" on "project ':modelgen'", value: "com.rockabyte.ActiveAn...".

Same output is present when using any of the projects annotators as custom annotator.

I can replicate this easily using Gradle 1.6 and I've poured over the plugin code and the build configuration but I just cannot see why this message is displayed.

I've tried specifying every single configuration property supported by the plugin and this is the only one that has this problem. I've checked and re-checked the property names, tried changing the type of the property, no matter what I do the deprecation warning is shown and the setter is not called. I'm starting to think there's an obscure bug in Gradle that we've uncovered.

Maybe @ben-manes can shed some light? Ben, if you have time to look at this or at least just sanity check the code again and make sure it's nothing obvious that would be great :)

This appears to have been caused by some problem in the Eclipse groovy compiler that's present in 1.8.6-01 but not in 2.1.8-01. We've used the latter version for jsonschema2pojo 0.4.2 and this problem is no longer present.
