The Auto project has a set of common utilities to help ease use of the annotation processing environment.
MoreTypes
: Utilities and Equivalence
wrappers for TypeMirror
and related subtypes
MoreElements
: Utilities for Element
and related subtypes
SuperficialValidation
: Very simple scanner to ensure an Element
is valid and free from distortion
from upstream compilation errors
Visibility
: Utilities for working with Element
s' visibility levels (public, protected,
etc.)
BasicAnnotationProcessor
/Step
: Simple types that
- implement a validating annotation processor
- defer invalid elements until later
- break processor actions into multiple steps (which may each handle
different annotations)
Auto common utilities have a standard Maven setup which can also be used from Gradle, Ivy, Ant, or other systems which consume binary artifacts from the central Maven binary artifact repositories.
