Have you tried setting up this annotation processor in Eclipse
recently ?
I tried/tested a basic setup in Eclipse and Idea. Nothing too involved.
I haven't tested NetBeans.
I did with the "original" one; just curious if we continued
ensuring it
work in the various IDE;s and especially
Eclipse that has lowerlevel hooks into Eclipse JDT to make it more
incremental than other IDE's.
I just recently in combination with
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/METAGEN-37
learned that Eclipse uses its own compiler. Seems there is a bug in there.
After fixing METAGEN-37 it problem was solved using Sun's JDK or OpenJDK,
but the issue
seems to remain on Eclipse.
Maybe you want to give the latest release a closer look on Eclipse ;-) ?
