JBang and annotation processors?

[Klaboe]

So this is more a "try to understand the technology" rather than "Should jbang support this" kind of query

So i know there is quarkus support but as i understand it, this is maintaned by the quarkus team and is not a thing JBang handles?

I started working with Micronaut a while back, and thought i would give it a go with JBang; the dependencies sync as they should but when i run it, it starts, but the annotated functionallity does not kick in.

The kicker is that if i run it in Eclipse (with the jbang plugin installed) they kick in just fine, and my restcontroller answers as it should when i call the URI. But running it vanilla from the commandline i just get a 404 which suggest the routing does not get hooked up and i would assume this is because lack of annotation processing

So any suggestion how i can get this to work with vanila jbang outside my IDE?

jbang just let javac pick up annotation processors from dependencies.

so it should just work unless micronaut has different kind of annotation processors that requires manual registration?

[maxandersen]

If the annotation processor is included in that classpath it should just work.

Can't test it as not near computer at the moment.

could not get your example to build/compile so made my own based on it https://gist.github.com/maxandersen/eab8d454ed1583888c81a1820a1394b1

It works as long as you put instructions in Main.java that you want to add additional sources.

In this I added //SOURCES MicroController.java but you could also just add //SOURCES **/*.java if you want all java files.

Yes this seems to be exactly what i was after; and also probably what the IDE-plugin does behind the scenes when i run it from there?

Thank you so much for the insight 🙌

[maxandersen]

Depends how you opened it in your IdE. But yeah it probably included all .java files it found rather than just the primary one you chose to run with jbang.

Looks like a manifestation of #1502
