Android javax.annotation.processing Package missing

Question

I would like to do some annotation processing based on the example in the following link: http://www.zdnetasia.com/writing-and-processing-custom-annotations-part-3-39362483.

Answer 1

for kotlin DSL you need to use compileOnly("org.glassfish:javax.annotation:10.0-b28")

for groovy DSL you need to use compileOnly 'org.glassfish:javax.annotation:10.0-b28'

Answer 2

compileOnly 'org.glassfish:javax.annotation:10.0-b28'

Answer 3

Simply adding compile 'javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2' should do the trick.

see here for all available versions: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.annotation/javax.annotation-api

Answer 4

The javax.annotation.processing package is not included in Android. You don't need to include this inside your compiled app module. You just need this dependency for your compiler/processor module during build time. Therefore, inside your app's build.gradle you should add the following after including your annotation processor:

provided 'org.glassfish:javax.annotation:10.0-b28'

Answer 5

The javax.annotation.processing package is not included in Android, but the Android VM team describes how to include extra javax packages here - it might be applicable to your question.

Answer 6

I find a method in butterknife. Add this in build.gradle:

compile files(org.gradle.internal.jvm.Jvm.current().getJre().homeDir.getAbsolutePath()+'/lib/rt.jar')
