Branch: refs/heads/main Home: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-validator Commit: dc9e3e07e736222879ba447c2552ce17ffda7469 https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-validator/commit/dc9e3e07e73622287... Author: Corey Forsyth <corey.j.forsyth(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: 2022-03-02 (Wed, 02 Mar 2022) Changed paths: R annotation-processor/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/jakarta.annotation.processing.Processor A annotation-processor/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor Log Message: ----------- HV-1888 Revert annotation processor service file to javax package In versions >= 7, the annotation processor isn't working. Tested in gradle and maven using this guide: https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/validator/reference/en-US/html_si... In versions prior to 7, the annotation works as intended in maven/gradle builds and rasies compilation errors when an annotation is improperly used. Gradle imports used: compileOnly 'org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator-annotation-processor:6.2.0.Final' annotationProcessor 'org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator-annotation-processor:6.2.0.Final' implementation 'org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator:6.2.0.Final' In >=7, the annotation processor doesn't run during compilation. Gradle imports used: compileOnly 'org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator-annotation-processor:7.0.2.Final' annotationProcessor 'org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator-annotation-processor:7.0.2.Final' implementation 'org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator:7.0.2.Final' I don't believe this is something that needs to be changed to jakarta, since javax.annotation.processing.Processor exists in the compiler, not Java EE/Jakarta EE.
