I am trying to use maven to compile a java annotation processor. When you build a jar which contains an annotation processor you can put a file (META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor) which contains one line per annotation processor. With this file in place you then only have to include the jar in the javac classpath to get it to process annotations, you do not have to mention it on the command line.
Unforunately if you build your pom.xml to include this file under the resources tag, it gets included in the classpath, and then the compiler complains that the annotation processor it is compiling (the one mentioned in the file) does not exist, so it can not run it as an annotation processor so the compilation fails. So what I need is a means to add the file to the jar without adding it to the compiler classpath. Anyone got any suggestions.
