apt-maven-plugin provides Maven integration of the Java 6 APT functionality.
The supported goals are
process - to process main sources
test-process - to process test sources
Here is an example of a configuration
<plugin>
<groupId>com.mysema.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>apt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>process</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/java</outputDirectory>
<processor>com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor</processor>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Here is an example for usage with the m2e plugin https://github.com/querydsl/apt-maven-plugin/wiki/m2e-usage
If you're using AspectJ to introduce artifacts into classes (fields, methods or annotations), then
apt-maven-plugin
will not work properly and classpath inspecting tools need to be used, such as GenericExporter,
if you use Querydsl.
