Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-457:
--------------------------------------

I became a little reluctant towards shading after our experience with shading in HV directly. 

Our of interest, why do we need any dependency. Just for the annotations? If so, I had the same issue in meamodelgen which required initially the JPA spec. However, it was just using it, because it was referencing some annotation classes. In the end I as able to remove the dependency and just work with strings. Would that not be an option for the HV AP as well?

> When configuring the annotation processor in IDEs it's classpath has to be specified. In IDEs like Netbeans or IntelliJ the annotation processor can use the project classpath. But it's better if the classpath of project and annotation processor are isolated.
> In that case people shall setup manually the annotation processor classpath which has to contain at least HV and BV dependency. As Gunnar said it would be usefull to simplify the annotation processor configuration in IDEs by providing a shaded jar.
