I am writing a simple java annotation processor which generates a the java class using JavaPoet and then write it into the filer.
@AutoService(Processor.class) public class ConfigProcessor extends AbstractProcessor { private Types typeUtils; private Elements elementUtils; private Filer filer; private Messager messager; @Override public synchronized void init(ProcessingEnvironment processingEnv) { super.init(processingEnv); typeUtils = processingEnv.getTypeUtils(); elementUtils = processingEnv.getElementUtils(); filer = processingEnv.getFiler(); messager = processingEnv.getMessager(); } @Override public Set<String> getSupportedAnnotationTypes() { Set<String> annotataions = new LinkedHashSet<String>(); annotataions.add(Config.class.getCanonicalName()); return annotataions; } @Override public SourceVersion getSupportedSourceVersion() { return SourceVersion.latestSupported(); } @Override public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations, RoundEnvironment roundEnv) { for (Element annotatedElement : roundEnv.getElementsAnnotatedWith(RemoteConfig.class)) { TypeSpec configImpl = // generating JavaFile javaFile = JavaFile.builder(elementUtils.getPackageOf(annotatedElement).getQualifiedName().toString(), configImpl) .build(); try { javaFile.writeTo(filer); } catch (IOException e) { messager.printMessage(Diagnostic.Kind.ERROR, "Failed to generate implementation", annotatedElement); return true; } } return true; } } This annotation processor is saving the files into target/classes/mypackage instead of target/generated-sources/annotations/mypackage
I have tried setting the generatedSourcesDirectory directory in the maven compiler plugin to the generated sources directory but it still generates it in the classes folder.
How do I make the generated classes be saved in the generated-sources folder?
