annotation processor support

What if you add the generated code using the build-helper maven plugin? I have a similar setup and added the following plugin configuration

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>add-source</id>
            <phase>prepare-package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>add-source</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <sources>
                    <source>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/annotations</source>
                </sources>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Replace ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/annotations in case your code is generated to a different folder.

Done that. It's not working :(

The way it's declared in your POM, gwt:compile is executed before build-helper:add-source (they're bound to the same phase, so Maven uses the document order, and you put gwt-maven-plugin before build-helper-maven-plugin).

Changing build-helper:add-source to run at process-classes fixes it. That also makes it possible to use gwt:devmode (which only runs up to the process-classes phase, so prepare-package definitely is too late).

Upgrading the maven-compiler-plugin to 3.2 would also fix it, without the need for the build-helper-maven-plugin, if it weren't for nasty side-effects (read: it's totally broken, stay with 3.1): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-235

Now I'm able to compile but I still can't run gwt:devmode

I'll have a look. I think I know what's going on.

[tbroyer]

I'll cut an RC 2 soon with the fix, but if you could try the snapshot in the mean time and tell me if it fixes the issue for you (I tried it with your project and it worked for me)

[natros]

It's working with both devmode and codeserver.

Thank you Thomas.

Just released 1.0-rc-2.
