If this is better than javax.annotation, which might come eventually with JSE or never at all, is a matter of debate. Which leaves us with either or javax.annotation.

All we can do is to find a pragmatic solution and mine is as follows: Syntaxįrom a purely stylistic standpoint I would like to avoid any reference to IDE, framework or any toolkit except Java itself. Since JSR 305 (whose goal was to standardize and has been dormant for several years, I'm afraid there is no good answer.

I'm making a PullRequest to change the project to compile with Java8, you can check the PR here: So, my question is: How can I enable Annotation Processors in Android Studio 2.2? This feature was disabled? If yes, how can I generate the code from annotations? When I open the project settings and go to 'Build -> Compiler' I can't find Annotation Processors. Now if I use 'make project' the project is compiled without problems, but if I try to execute it I have errors with the code that should be generated by the annotations.Īlso when I open the project I receive a warning from the lombok plugin 'Annotation processing seems to be disabled for the project'. To annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok:$rootProject.lombokVersion'

And after that I discovered that the apt gradle plugin is not supported anymore and then I needed to change every dependency that use apt to the use the new annotationProcessor option.Įx: apt 'org.projectlombok:lombok:$rootProject.lombokVersion' I download Android Studio 2.2 preview 6 and converted my project to it. I'm trying to use java 8 in my project and for that I added the jack compiler.Īfter enabling jack I started having problems with libraries that use Annotation Processing and looking in the web I read that I need android studio 2.2 and :gradle:2.2.0-alpha6 to compile libraries that generate code from annotations.
