How use mapStruct in Eclipse stand alone. without maven or gradle or ant

[Pierpaolo Piccoli]

Hi,

i'm trying to use mapStruct in Eclipse without leverage on Maven, Ant or Gradle

but it seems not to work, The Mapper implementation classes are not generated

I've configured in Eclipse at project level :

- annotation processing (all enabled)

-  factory path (it refers to the MapStruct processor jar 1.2.0 final)

- i'm using java 6

when i clean and build my project the .apt_generated folder is empty

so when i run junit test i receive the error:

 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Cannot find implementation for com.foo.bar.converters.IMyConverter

i've installed the m2e-apt plugin for Eclipse 2018

best regards

Paolo

Hi,

Not sure that MapStruct (at least jars from maven central) can work with Java 6. You can try to build your own MapStruct jars from the sources.

Best,
