Description Antonin Nebuzelsky 2010-03-01 06:15:51 UTC 
Milos's findings on the maven-compiler plugin and the annotation processing.

1. -proc and -s <path> switches implemented in current compiler-plugin sources with reasonable defaults for main and test sources..

2. including src/main/resources or target/classes on the -sourcepath doesn't have any effect on annotation processors requiring access to resources like xml schema (@schema2beans) or Bundle.properties files (@EditorActionRegistration). Both require to actually have the resources in the same source tree. That is an issue with the javac compiler, filed by Jesse as #6929404.

For 6.9 we need to hotfix annotation processors to seek in SOURCE_PATH as we do now and if nothing is found there, seek in CLASS_OUTPUT as a fallback.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2010-03-01 08:25:04 UTC 
LayerGeneratingProcessor workaround works in a unit test at least, and making a similar but untested fix in S2B. core-main #e97fb471102d

Note that JavaHintsAnnotationProcessor and AbstractServiceProviderProcessor also check SOURCE_PATH, but failure to find a resource is in these cases not fatal, so not adding a workaround to them.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201003020200* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)

Log: #181355: if a resource cannot be found on SOURCE_PATH, check also CLASS_OUTPUT. Workaround for javac bug.
