[tycho-user] tycho-compile doesn't invoke lombok annotation processing

[T Schapitz <eets@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

has somebody succeeded in using Lombok within a eclipse plugin, and 
building the plugin with tycho?
There doesn't seem to be a problem within the PDE; registering the 
lombok.jar with the ide, and configuring it within the eclipse project 
does work; opening the generated class-file shows the generated methods, 
which get picked up by the IDE as well, thus no errors within the the IDE.

However, doing a mvn clean install shows, that tycho-compile isn't  
triggering lomboks annotation processors.

So far, I have tried:

- adding lombok as an additional dependency with<extraClasspathElements 
/>  : (using -X on the mvn command line even shows it on the classpath)

- explicitly specifying the processors using <annotationProcessors />

- I even tried to shed some light on the processing, by using 
-XprintProcessorInfo -XprintRounds and -XshowSetting; to no avail.

The last one made obvious, that the options are not even used, which is 
probably because the ecj is called in process, which does make offering 
<compilerArgs /> in tycho-compile moot; if you try to add 
<fork>true</fork> compile fails with a message stating that forking 
isn't supported.

As a last ressort, I even added lombok into the maven installation by 
adding it to lib/ext - doesn't work too.

Any Ideas?

Im Using Tycho 1.6.0, and lombok 1.18.12
