----------------------------------------
Summary: Allow compiler-plugin to specify annotation processor
dependencies
Key: MCOMPILER-203
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-203
Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.3.2
Environment: Java 6+
Reporter: David M. Lloyd
Right now the status quo for annotation processor artifacts requires one of two
actions:
# Use an external plugin for annotation processing
# Put the annotation processor in as a dependency with {{provided}} scope
The former is suboptimal because the external plugins are clunky and
ill-supported, and inflexible/hard to use. The latter is suboptimal because it
is often the case that you do not want to leak annotation processor classes on
to the application class path.
It should be possible to add annotation processor dependency artifacts to the
compiler plugin configuration such that they are recognized by the annotation
processing search algorithm of the compiler, but they do not actually appear on
the compilation class path. Ideally they would also be isolated from one
another (dependency graphs and all), but that's more of a "nice to have".
