DSE Java Driver 2.2 (OSS 4.2) Annotation Processor

Having a tough time getting the annotation processor working in eclipse. I know it might work well in IntelliJ but I need to get it done in Eclipse. I have tried this and it is not working. I have also tried something like this and that too is not working, primarily because it's just hit and trial and I don't have the correct JAR name. The generated-sources directory is always empty after building the project.


Any help is appreciated

That problem is specific to Eclipse, or any IDE. As such, the answer is IDE-specific. For Eclipse, I've found that the annotation sources can be generated by installing m2e-apt from https://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=1216155

and using the info given here: https://developer.jboss.org/en/tools/blog/2012/05/20/annotation-processing-support-in-m2e-or-m2e-apt-100-is-out?_sscc=t

So, after installing m2e-apt, you have to go to the project's Properties -> Maven -> Annotation Processing and choose "Experimental"

because according to the documentation, "you can change the workspace or project preferences to delegate annotation processing to maven, instead of JDT APT. This will result in slower incremental builds (all classes will be processed) but will provide identical results to maven command line builds."

Keep in mind that the doc warns that this method "will result in slower incremental builds".

If you have still have problems, specific to Eclipse, please inquire with the Eclipse Community.
