The goal of this plugin was to eventually no longer be needed, being superseded by built-in features.
This has become a reality with Gradle 5.2 and IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1. tl;dr: this plugin is obsolete, don't use it. If you're using Eclipse though, continue reading.
It originally did a few things to make it easier/safer to use Java annotation processors in a Gradle build.
Those things are now available natively in Gradle, so what's this plugin about?
If you use older versions of Gradle (pre-4.6), you can still benefit from those features:
it ensures the presence of configurations for your compile-time only dependencies (annotations, generally) and annotation processors, consistently across all supported Gradle versions;
automatically configures the corresponding JavaCompile and GroovyCompile tasks to make use of these configurations, when the java or groovy plugin is applied.
With recent versions of Gradle (between 4.6 and 5.1), this plugin will actually only:
add some DSL to configure annotation processors; it is however recommended to directly configure the tasks' options.compilerArgs;
backport the sourceSet.output.generatedSourcesDirs Gradle 5.2 API;
configure JavaCompile and GroovyCompile tasks' options.annotationProcessorGeneratedSourcesDirectory with a sane default value so you can see the generated sources in your IDE and for debugging, and avoid shipping them in your JARs.
With Gradle 5.2 and later, only the (deprecated) DSL is contributed.
Quite ironically, what you'd have probably found the most useful here was the part that was only provided as a "best effort",
namely the net.ltgt.apt-idea or net.ltgt.apt-eclipse plugins that will automatically configures IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse respectively.
If you're interested in better IDE support, please vote for those issues to eventually have built-in support:
in IntelliJ IDEA for annotation processing in the IDE
(probably low priority as delegating build/run actions to Gradle is becoming the default in 2019.1) (fixed in 2019.3)
If you're using Eclipse, please migrate to the com.diffplug.eclipse.apt plugin, which is a (maintained) fork of net.ltgt.apt-eclipse.
DSL aside, the net.ltgt.apt plugin, is equivalent to the following snippet
(unless otherwise noted, all snippets here assume Gradle ≥ 4.9, and only deal with Java projects, not Groovy ones):
With Gradle ≤ 4.6, you'll also need to create the <sourceSet>AnnotationProcessor configurations and configure the tasks' options.annotationProcessorPath
(the following snippet will disable falling back to the compilation classpath to resolve annotation processors though):
If you're delegating IDEA build/run actions to Gradle, and/or somehow don't want or need IntelliJ IDEA to do the annotation processing,
the net.ltgt.apt-idea plugin is roughly equivalent to the following snippet
(this assumes a somewhat recent version of IntelliJ IDEA that automatically unexcludes source folders inside excluded folders):
// Workaround for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-182577
idea {
module {
tasks.getByName<JavaCompile>("compileJava").options.annotationProcessorGeneratedSourcesDirectory?.also {
// For some reason, modifying the existing collections doesn't work. We need to copy the values and then assign it back.
sourceDirs = sourceDirs + it
generatedSourceDirs = generatedSourceDirs + it
}
tasks.getByName<JavaCompile>("compileTestJava").options.annotationProcessorGeneratedSourcesDirectory?.also {
// For some reason, modifying the existing collections doesn't work. We need to copy the values and then assign it back.
testSourceDirs = testSourceDirs + it
generatedSourceDirs = generatedSourceDirs + it
}
}
}
With Gradle 5.2 (and a version of IntelliJ IDEA older than 2019.1)
// Workaround for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-182577
idea {
module {
tasks.sourceSets.getByName(SourceSet.MAIN_SOURCE_SET_NAME).output.generatedSourcesDirs.also {
// For some reason, modifying the existing collections doesn't work. We need to copy the values and then assign it back.
sourceDirs = sourceDirs + it
generatedSourceDirs = generatedSourceDirs + it
}
tasks.sourceSets.getByName(SourceSet.TEST_SOURCE_SET_NAME).output.generatedSourcesDirs.also {
// For some reason, modifying the existing collections doesn't work. We need to copy the values and then assign it back.
testSourceDirs = testSourceDirs + it
generatedSourceDirs = generatedSourceDirs + it
}
}
}
If you want IntelliJ IDEA to process annotations, you'll have to do some manual configuration to enable annotation processing,
and add the annotation processors to the project's compilation classpath:
// Workaround for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-187868
idea {
module {
scopes["PROVIDED"]!!["plus"]!!.add(configurations.annotationProcessor)
scopes["TEST"]!!["plus"]!!.add(configurations.testAnnotationProcessor)
}
}
If you want to apply this configuration automatically for every project,
you can do this with an init script similar to the following:
importorg.gradle.util.GradleVersion;
// If running from IntelliJ IDEA (such as when importing the project)if (Boolean.getBoolean("idea.active")) {
defHAS_PROCESSOR_GENERATED_SOURCES_DIR=GradleVersion.current() >=GradleVersion.version("4.3")
allprojects { project->
project.apply plugin: 'idea'if (HAS_PROCESSOR_GENERATED_SOURCES_DIR) {
project.plugins.withType(JavaPlugin) {
project.afterEvaluate {
project.idea.module {
def mainGeneratedSources = project.tasks["compileJava"].options.annotationProcessorGeneratedSourcesDirectory
if (mainGeneratedSources) {
sourceDirs += mainGeneratedSources
generatedSourceDirs += mainGeneratedSources
}
def testGeneratedSources = project.tasks["compileTestJava"].options.annotationProcessorGeneratedSourcesDirectory
if (testGeneratedSources) {
testSourceDirs += testGeneratedSources
generatedSourceDirs += testGeneratedSources
}
// Uncomment if you want to do annotation processing in IntelliJ IDEA:// def annotationProcessorConfiguration = configurations.findByName("annotationProcessor")// if (annotationProcessorConfiguration) {// scopes.PROVIDED.plus += annotationProcessorConfiguration// }// def testAnnotationProcessorConfiguration = configurations.findByName("testAnnotationProcessor")// if (testAnnotationProcessorConfiguration) {// scopes.TEST.plus += testAnnotationProcessorConfiguration// }
}
}
}
} else {
// fallback to automatically applying net.ltgt.apt-idea whenever net.ltgt.apt is used
project.plugins.withId("net.ltgt.apt") {
try {
project.apply plugin: "net.ltgt.apt-idea"// Comment if you want to do annotation processing in IntelliJ IDEA:
project.plugins.withType(JavaPlugin) {
project.afterEvaluate {
project.idea.module.apt.addAptDependencies =false
}
}
} catch (UnknownPluginException) {
// ignore, in case an older version of net.ltgt.apt is being used// that doesn't come with net.ltgt.apt-idea.
}
}
}
}
}
