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: <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <fork>true</fork> <compilerArgument>-s $...
I am trying to write an annotation processor in the JSR 269 format which uses javac's Compiler Tree API to do some source code analysis. I am interested in member select expressions, such as method calls. I can easily get the name of the method (or field, etc.) being selected. But I want to know what type the member is being selected fr...
I have created an annotation, applied it to a DTO and written a Java 1.6 style annotationProcessor. I can see how to have the annotationProcessor write a new source file, which isn't what I want to do, I cannot see or find out how to have it modify the existing class (ideally just modify the byte code). The modification is actually fai...
In the spirit of type safety associated with the CriteriaQuery JPA 2.0 also has an API to support Metamodel representation of entities. Is anyone aware of a fully functional implementation of this API (to generate the Metamodel... as opposed to creating the metamodel classes manually)? It would be awesome if someone also knows the steps ...
In my Eclipse project I'm using a third-party annotation processor, Hibernate Metamodel Generator to be exact. The annotation processor works as expected and generates .java files as specified by the spec. These files are generated into the directory of the Eclipse project under a "gen" folder. In the project properties this is correctly...
I am trying to read the value of an enum in an annotation using an annotation processor and annotation mirror, but I am getting back null. I think this has to do with the AnnotationValue wrapping an Enum as a VariableElement. The doc for VariableElement#getConstantValue() says "Returns the value of this variable if this is a final field ...
I've read that since version 6.9, Netbeans includes annotation processing support, a feature needed, for instance, to generate JPA 2.0 entities' metamodels. However, I couldn't find any examples or documentation that shows exactly how to do it. Have any of you guys succeed on this? ...
I am using a 3rd party annotation processor for generating meta-data code (.java files) from the annotated classes in my project. I have successfully configured the processor through Eclipse (Properties -> Java Compiler -> Annotation Processing) and the code generation works fine (code is automatically created and generated). Also, Eclip...
