Custom annotation and handler in intellij is not running

[MiniDigger]

Hey,

I just went through the process of making my own javac annotation handler for my own annotation.

it generates the code just fine when I compile it using gradle, but it doesn't do while I am in the editor. 

Does anyone have an idea why that could be?

I am using MetaInfServices to generate the entry in the javax.annotation.processing.Processor file.

my project is layed out in multiple (gradle) modules, one of them containing my annotation and the processor for it.

the other modules should use it.

my annotation is located here: https://github.com/MiniDigger/VoxelGamesLib/tree/master/annotations/src/main/java/me/minidigger/voxelgameslib/annotations/log

I am using it here https://github.com/MiniDigger/VoxelGamesLib/blob/master/api/src/main/java/me/minidigger/voxelgameslib/api/log/LoggerTest.java

I have annotation procession turned on in the intellij settings, even tho that doesn't seem to have an effect at all since the normal lombok annotations still work even if it is turned off.

thanks for your help, appreciate every hint in the right direction

Hi,

Lombok itself does not include support for intellij (it does include eclipsec and thus eclipse support, but you haven't implemented that part either from the looks of it). IntelliJ users usually use this plugin ( https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6317 ) for lombok support, but its author has to manually add support for each lombok feature to the intellij editor. You would have to modify this plugin to support your annotation if you want proper IntelliJ support for it.

Hi,

I am facing a similar problem. I have defined my custom annotation which extends AbstractProcessor. The method is generated successfully and added to the original source code. But in InteeliJ IDE it gives compilation error. But when I do mvn clean install, it works correctly. Want to know why is this happening. When we use lombok plugin, getters and setters are available in the IDE
