David M. Lloyd updated MCOMPILER-203:
-------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 3.1
> Allow compiler-plugin to specify annotation processor dependencies
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCOMPILER-203
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-203
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.3.2, 3.1
> 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".
