[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-1521) Forget rhq-pluginAnnotations dependency in infinispan-core

[Tristan Tarrant (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1521?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12642088#comment-12642088 ] 

Tristan Tarrant commented on ISPN-1521:
---------------------------------------

Davide, scope provided should be fine, as the rhq-pluginAnnotations classes have RetentionPolicy.CLASS. As the JavaDoc says:
 
bq. Annotations are to be recorded in the class file by the compiler but need not be retained by the VM at run time. 

javac issues a warning when referencing a jar with these annotations, in the following form:

{noformat}
org/infinispan/manager/DefaultCacheManager.class(org/infinispan/manager:DefaultCacheManager.class): warning: Cannot find annotation method 'displayName()' in type 'org.rhq.helpers.pluginAnnotations.agent.Metric': class file for org.rhq.helpers.pluginAnnotations.agent.Metric not found
org/infinispan/manager/DefaultCacheManager.class(org/infinispan/manager:DefaultCacheManager.class): warning: Cannot find annotation method 'dataType()' in type 'org.rhq.helpers.pluginAnnotations.agent.Metric'
{noformat}

These warnings should be harmless, but it appears that Maven's compiler plugin chokes on them and treats them as errors, probably because of 

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-59

which is marked as resolved in Maven 2.1.0 (I get the error with Maven 3.0.3). I'll talk with John Casey about it.

The workaround at the moment is to add the rhq-pluginAnnotations dependency with scope provided to your project which depends on infinispan-core.
