Jesse Glick updated MCOMPILER-97:
---------------------------------
Attachment: MCOMPILER-97-workaround.zip
Complete example project working around this problem; for the main sources the
processorpath is set to the Maven classpath, so that processors in dependencies
can still be used.
For test sources, the default behavior is left alone, which is usually OK since
tests would not likely define their own processors; processors from
dependencies and main sources are still run over test sources.

> It is tricky to compile a Maven module which defines a (269-compliant)
> annotation processor. If you write the code for the processor in
> src/main/java and register it in src/main/resources,
> META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor is copied to
> target/classes first, and then javac is run. But javac is given
> target/classes in -classpath, so it tries to load the processor, which of
> course has not been compiled yet - a chicken-and-egg problem.
> The most straightforward workaround is to specify
> <compilerArgument>-proc:none</compilerArgument> in your POM. This will only
> work, however, if the module does not use any annotation processors defined
> in dependencies. If it does, there may be some other trick involving
> -processorpath and Maven variable substitution to insert the dependency
> classpath.
> Switching the order of resources:resources and compiler:compile would help -
> at least a clean build would work - though it could still cause problems in
> incremental builds. Better would be for the compiler plugin to pass
> -processorpath based on the dependency classpath (i.e. -classpath minus
> target/classes) when using -source 1.6 or higher.
