This is a fairly minimal project to get started with creating an annotation processor for Java, using Elementary 2.0 for testing.
Gradle 7 is the build tool, via Gradle Wrapper (./gradlew
).
The project has been tested with Gradle 7.5.1, and it should work with Gradle 8.
The following is not covered:
- Writing a code-generating annotation processor where the generated code requires runtime code
or annotations on
@Retention(RUNTIME)
.
You'd split such a project into two modules:foo-runtime
, which contains the runtime artifacts that the generated code expects.foo-processor
, which contains the annotation processor itself, and any annotations that have a@Retention
other thanRUNTIME
.
- Deployment to Maven Central (or any other repository).
