> I am using annotation processors with Maven and I keep getting errors when compiling with generated sources already present from a previous run.
> I have modified one of the test cases submitted for [MCOMPILER-157|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-157] to induce the error by generating a source file _as source file_ rather than as a resource. Untar the test case and run {{mvn clean test -q && mvn test -q}} to verify.
> What I found is that {{AbstractCompilerMojo}} in version 3.2 of the compiler plugin adds the generated sources directory to the compiler's source root list, and that has two undesirable effects:
> # Sources generated in the previous run will be stale the next time around and cause recompilation.
> # The compiler will consider the previously generated source files to be initial inputs.
> The first one is mostly harmless but the second one is deadly, as it breaks the processing environment of the annotation processors.
> From the {{javax.annotation.Filer}} documentation in JDK 8:
> bq. "During each run of an annotation processing tool, a file with a given pathname may be created only once. Any subsequent attempt to create the same file during a run will throw a FilerException [...] The initial inputs to the tool are considered to be created by the zeroth round; therefore, attempting to create a source or class file corresponding to one of those inputs will result in a FilerException."
> Thus by adding the generated sources directory to the compiler's source roots, the compiler plugin causes annotation processors to inadvertently break their contract with the compiler.
> I get the expected behavior when lines 511-540 in {{AbstractCompilerMojo}} are moved after the compiler invocation, say to line 806. See the attached patch.
