Does your DS component bundle import the package that contains the DataProvider annotation type? And does the bundle doing the introspection in Groovy code also import that package, from the same provider?
If these don’t match up then I would expect the getAnnotation() method to return null. Classloading for annotations is a little different than for normal classes — when something goes wrong, the JRE does not raise an exception but instead simply throws away the annotation metadata.
