OriginatingClasses annotation should be located in a runtime jar, not in the annotation processor jar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: IPROTO-106 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/IPROTO-106 Project: Infinispan ProtoStream Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Nistor Adrian Priority: Major Fix For: 4.3.0.Alpha9 The annotation processor is a compile time dependency, so OriginatingClasses annotation is not loadable at runtime, but this does not create a classloading issue because the retention of the annotation is CLASS, so not actually needed at runtime. All good at runtime. But javadoc generation does not work, failing due to missing dependency unless we add it explicitly, which is cumbersome.
