alerosmile opened a new issue, #1006: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/issues/1006
### Affected version 3.14.1 ### Bug description I attempted to create a separate Maven execution for the Log4j annotation processor as described in the [Log4j plugin documentation](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.12.x/manual/plugins.html). When the second execution is bound to the `process-classes` phase, the plugin outputs `Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date.` and the annotation processor does not run. If I move the execution to the `generate-sources` phase, the processor runs correctly and generates the expected output. However, the log message says `Compiling n source files with javac` which is misleading because no source files are actually compiled—only the annotation processor is executed. It appears that the maven-compiler-plugin does not handle the <proc> setting beyond passing it to javac. This makes it difficult to run annotation processors in isolation without triggering confusing or incorrect log messages. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
