Description
I have access to a specific (large) project here which makes use of
@SupportedAnnotationTypes({"the.namespace.TheAnnotation"})
@SupportedSourceVersion(SourceVersion.RELEASE_10)
to create an annotation processor
public class TheAnnotationProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {
for an annotation the.namespace.TheAnnotation in that project
public @interface TheAnnotation {
which produces an interface (e.g. GeneratedInterfaceSpecificMapper, see below) with plenty of default. In the very same project, this annotation is also applied to some classes,
@TheAnnotation(Specific.class)
public class SpecificMapper implements GeneratedInterfaceSpecificMapper {
Evidently, maven discovers the annotation, the annotation processor, runs code generation through the processor (files appear in generated-sources/annotations/...) and is able to also compile the source files that make use of the GeneratedInterfaceSpecificMapper.
The vscode plugin flags the type GeneratedInterfaceSpecificMapper as faulty, with "[Java] cannot be resolved to a type". This seems to indicate that the vscode plugin is not aware of the generated artefacts in generated-sources/annotations/...
I have had a look at https://www.baeldung.com/java-annotation-processing-builder to see whether this produces the error - alas, that setup there seems to be too clean / too simplistic to trigger the problem.
Environment
- Operating System: Linux Fedora 28
- JDK version: 10.0.2
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.28.2
- Java extension version: java-0.33.0-1252.vsix
Steps To Reproduce
<large project, will try to find time to reduce>
Current Result
- builds fine in maven
- red squiggles in IDE / syntax check failure
Expected Result
- builds fine in maven
- no red squiggles in IDE
Additional Informations
Not sure whether this related to the issues reported for Lombok - e.g #580 or #458
