I need help with configuring the maven-compiler-plugin to run compiler twice, with different set of source roots and/or different settings for includes/excludes. Based on the documentation, it seemed to be a simple thing to do, but somehow I cannot make it work.
It started with the other problem I had (see my other post http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Using-annotationProcessor-in-maven-compiler-plugin-td3298435.html ) . That one I got working, though it feels like magic. Basically I have a class A.java that uses some special annotation, and I have an annotation processor that will create another class A1.java based on A. I also have class B.java that uses A1. Obviously the processor should do its job before the main compilation. Everything worked with this simple configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins maven-compiler-plugin 2.3.2 1.6 1.6 my_processor Except one minor annoying thing: while doing the annotation processing, it tried to compile all classes, including B.java, which uses A1 that does not exist yet. So it gave a message that looked like an error, but it was not a stopper for the further processing. So I thought that in some other situation it may become critical, and I wanted to solve this problem. I actually need to run the compiler two times: 1. Do annotation processing, by setting proc=only, and compile only A.java, with B.java excluded. 2. Compile everything, including A1.java (which is sitting in a different tree "target/generated-sources/annotations"), and B.java. I know that I need to define separate executions, and the manual says that I can configure "default-compile" execution. I tried various configurations, but could not make it work: the default-compile execution could not see the "target/generated-sources/annotations" root, no matter what I tried. I would really appreciate if somebody can give me an example of how this is done. -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Separate-executions-for-maven-compiler-plugin-tp3300553p3300553.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
