Can you describe your setup: * What build tool (Maven, Gradle, etc.) are you using? * What JDK are you using? * Does your JAR file contain a `Log4jPlugins.dat` file? The `javac` compiler **usually** detects all the annotation processors on the classpath (unless an annotation processor path is provided). Build tools can however modify that and IIRC in future JDK release annotation processors will need to be activated **explicitly**.
