Hi, I've encountered a strange issue with APT in Eclipse. When I modify a source file (A.java) with an annotation, it triggers an annotation processor to regenerate another file (B.java) as expected. However, the binary class (B.class) isn't recompiled, remaining unchanged even if I inspect it with a decompiler. Manual modifications to B.java or performing a clean operation lead to correct compilation. I've been using m2e-apt, which I thought only adjusted Compiler/APT settings, and observed this issue on Eclipse versions 4.6.0 and 4.7.0 without testing on a non-Maven APT project. Shouldn't this process work seamlessly? Could my projects have a unique bug? Any guidance or code pointers for debugging would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you're really using Eclipse 4.6.0 (Neon) or 4.7.0 (Oxygen), the versions you're using are very old. You're unlikely to get help for those.

Can you try this in a newer Eclipse (e.g. 2024-03) with m2e? You won't need to install m2e-apt in that version because it's now part of m2e.
