I have created a custom annotation and annotation processor using Abstract Processor. Which means I want to do annotation processing a before compile time. I exported my custom annotation and processor as a Jar and trying to use it with a simple java test program. I am sure that at compile time it finds my java processor class but somehow I am not getting o/p that I am expecting on console. Below is the code of the process method in my processor.
Also, I am purposely using @SupportedSourceVersion(SourceVersion.RELEASE_6) so that I get a version warning which confirms that when I execute a test class it finds my annotation processor.
Here is the GitHub link to my full project which also has the packaged Jar that I have created.
public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations, RoundEnvironment roundEnv) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
processingEnv.getMessager().printMessage(Kind.NOTE, "Hello compile time message");
for (Element elem : roundEnv.getElementsAnnotatedWith(Contract.class)) {
if(elem.getKind() != ElementKind.METHOD)
{
processingEnv.getMessager().printMessage(Kind.NOTE, "Error");
return true;
}
System.out.println("Hello ... Inside for ");
Contract contract = elem.getAnnotation(Contract.class);
String message = "annotation found in " + elem.getSimpleName()
+ " with complexity " + contract.pre_cond();
processingEnv.getMessager().printMessage(Kind.NOTE, message);
}
return true; // no further processing of this annotation type
}
Below is the test class that I am using,
import annotations.Contract;
public class AnnotationTest {
public AnnotationTest()
{
super();
}
@Contract(pre_cond = { "var > 0" })
public static void testMethod(int var)
{
System.out.println("hello1");
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
testMethod(1);
System.out.println("hello");
}
I am compiling the above test class using javac -cp newcontractlib.jar AnnotationTest.java command and I just get the version warning and no messages from my process method.
