ToolChain, MavenSession and maven-compiler-plugin

[Rahul Thakur <ra...@gmail.com>]

Greetings,

Has anyone used maven-compiler-plugin to invoke Annotation processor on 
Java sources?

I have a use case where I need to invoke an annotation processor via the 
maven-compiler-plugin. I need to pass in an option to the processor 
(done using -A option on 'javac' or 'apt'), but it appears that I can't 
just use <compilerArguments>.

I decided to look up test cases in maven-compiler-plugin sources hoping 
to find an example there, but none. So I started to put together a unit 
test for annotation processor invocation.

The issue that I am running into currently is obtaining a Toolchain 
instance in a test case, which appears to be due to the absence of a 
MavenSession handle where running a Mojo unit test.

Can anyone share if its possible to workaround this limitation?

Thanks in advance,

Rahul

I've run into this problem too, worked around it by using the
maven-antrun-plugin, and invoke an ant script.
