IntelliJ, Auto-Discover Processors from Maven #435
Description
Hello FreeBuilder team,
I've started using FreeBuilder and, more recently, the Google Auto Service Processor, in a Maven build.
At first, including the Auto Processor disabled FreeBuilder. I think it's because the Google plugin is explicitly added to the POM, disabling discovery of other processors.
Then, I came up with this:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<annotationProcessors>
<annotationProcessor>org.inferred.freebuilder.processor.Processor</annotationProcessor>
<annotationProcessor>com.google.auto.service.processor.AutoServiceProcessor</annotationProcessor>
</annotationProcessors>
<annotationProcessorPaths>
<path>
<groupId>org.inferred</groupId>
<artifactId>freebuilder</artifactId>
<version>2.6.2</version>
</path>
<path>
<groupId>com.google.auto.service</groupId>
<artifactId>auto-service</artifactId>
<version>${auto-service.version}</version>
</path>
</annotationProcessorPaths>
</configuration>
</plugin>
This fixed my build. It also turns out that IntelliJ picks this up automatically and put it into the settings.
This way, I do not have to configure the settings manually in IntelliJ.
I'm using the latest version 2020.2.3.
I never configured the annotation processors manually, but there they are:
I can send a pull request for the readme if you think this is a valid approach, but I thought I'd better submit an issue first to discuss.
Regards,
Stefan
