Currently, JDK 1.4 is in far wider use that Java 5 and Groovy wants to run on all these installations.
Groovy also runs on Java 5 but that doesn't imply support for annotations or generics. Just think that nobody would ask Jython to support that ;-)
Annotations and generics are Java language features, not Java platform features, and Groovy builds on the Java platform.
