Mark Hobson commented on MCOMPILER-75: -------------------------------------- I mentioned this on the list, but we could use the plugin's dependencies as the processor path. This is how the apt-maven-plugin [currently works|http://mojo.codehaus.org/apt-maven-plugin/examples/configuring-a-factory.html]. Alternatively, to support different usages of plugin dependencies we could specify them using their GAV, like the [maven-shade-plugin|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/includes-excludes.html]. For example: {code:xml} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <bootArtifacts> <bootArtifact>myGroup:myLibrary</bootArtifact> </bootArtifacts> <processorArtifacts> <processorArtifact>myGroup:myProcessor</processorArtifact> </processorArtifacts> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>myGroup</groupId> <artifactId>myLibrary</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>myGroup</groupId> <artifactId>myProcessor</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> {code} > Add apt support for Java 6 > -------------------------- > > Key: MCOMPILER-75 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-75 > Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Assignee: Milos Kleint > Fix For: 2.2 > > > Apt (Annotation Processing Tool) was merged into javac in Java 6.
