    Description

      Base.groovy

      class Base<T> {
        void foo(T t) {}
      }
      

      Derived.groovy

      class Derived extends Base<String> {
        @Override
        void foo(String s) {}
      }
      

      Compile error:

      Error:(2, 3) Groovyc: Method 'foo' from class 'Derived' does not override method from its superclass or interfaces but is annotated with @Override.
      

      Removing the @Override annotation appears to solve the problem. Earlier Groovy versions (e.g. 2.0.x) didn't have this problem. Tested with latest groovy-all-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.
