Gradle plugin for Java the annotation processor tool

Gradle Apt Plugin

A Gradle plugin for the Java annotation processor tool.

Usage

Add the plugin to your buildscript's dependencies and add Sonatype's snapshot repository to be able to download it:

buildscript {
  dependencies {
      repositories {
        maven {
          url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
        }
        ...
      }
      
      classpath 'com.jimdo.gradle:gradle-apt-plugin:0.2-SNAPSHOT'
      ...
  }
}

Apply the apt plugin:

apply plugin: 'apt'

Add annotation processors dependencies using the apt configuration, i.e.:

apt 'com.squareup.dagger:dagger-compiler:1.1.0'

Run gradle build and find the generated files in the build/sources/apt/ directory (for now not configurable, it will be in the future).
