Setting the generated source directory for annotation processors in Maven

Question

I\'m trying to move a build which generates sources using an annotation processor to Maven. I\'ve tried configuring the maven-compiler-plugin as follows:

    <         


        

Answer 1

I may be missing something but shouldn't you:

1. Generate sources in target/generated-sources/annotation-processing during the generate-sources phase? The apt-maven-plugin or the maven-annotation-plugin could help.

2. Include generated sources when compiling sources into target/classes using in the maven-compiler-plugin or the maven-build-helper-plugin?

EDIT: Where is xxx.annotation.EnforceJavaBeansConventionsProcessor located? Don't you need to add dependencies to the configuration of the maven-annotation-plugin as documented on the Usage page?

  org.bsc.maven
  maven-processor-plugin
  1.0-SNAPSHOT
  
    
      process
      
        process
      
      generate-sources
      
        src/main/generated 
        
          org.bsc.apt.BeanInfoAnnotationProcessor
        
       
    
  
  

PS: I wouldn't use src/main/generated as output directory but rather a subdirectory of target/generated-sources.
