Java allows annotations on local variables, as well as the Groovy Grammer, but the compiler crashes with a NPE.

this class is fine in Java, craashes Groovy
class Test {
public void testMe() { @SuppressWarnings("None") String s = ""; }
}

With the following (1.5.3) stack trace...

The error appears to be the call to modifiers in declerationExpression that passes a null for the List of annotations. Providing a list is only half the battle, as the bytecode (likely an attribute or section in the class file, don't ask me I'm not the JVM expert) for the annotation must also be generated.
