             Summary: Does Groovy support Java Anntotation Processors? 
                 Key: GROOVY-11388
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11388
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Question
            Reporter: Christoph Henrici


My question is simple : Does Groovy support Annotation Processors, like 
Mapstruct , Lombok or even custom Processors : 
[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/annotation/processing/Processor.html]
 ?

Please, no opionated answers, just facts and fact based explanations. There are 
many confusioning, strongly subjective and optinated posts in the web 
(Stacktrace and such, and even here), which trend towards no, you don‘t need 
it, i don't recommend, Lombok is a hack etc etc, but nothing really conclusive, 
substantial and objective. 

My Testcase does seems to indicate that at least the Lombok Annotation 
Processor is not supported , see : 
[https://github.com/chhex/groovylombok/tree/main]


If this is a redundant post, sorry! I really like Groovy and am using it 
frequently, it would be just great to have good understanding of it‘s 
limitations, if that is the case. 

Best thanks for any help.
