Using in Maven Projects¶

The annotation processor should run aromatically if jtsgen-processor is in the class path. Please note, that it is not advised making the processor transitive dependent in you project. Use either the provided or optional scope to break the dependency tree at this point. If it is necessary creating the TypesScript files in different location, the following strategies might solve this problem depending on the version of the maven-compiler plugin:

for versions >= 2.2: maybe annotationProcessors could be useful

for versions >= 2.2: with generatedSourcesDirectory the ouput path of the generated source files can be changed

for versions >= 3.1: using compilerArgs the annotation processor can be fed with additional Processing Parameters

for versions >= 3.5: with annotationProcessorPaths the processor could be completely removed from the dependency tree

For a full set of options you should take a look at the manual of the Maven Compiler Plugin.

The following full example generates the typescript files in ../client/src and logs some info debug messages
