My experience while writing an annotation processor - part I

submited by krishnas on Thu Nov 29th, 2007

Recently I was writing an annotation processor that would generate a persistence.xml file when I compile my JPA entity classes. If you are a Java Persistence API user, then you may actually be interested in that annotation processor. OK, enough of shameless self promotion. Coming to the issue I want to discuss in this blog... While writing the annotation processor, certain things did not happen as per my expectation. I will share them with you so that you won't waste time as I did. All those issues are generic in nature.
