----------------------------------------------------------------

I have recently learned that the argument parsing library from Twitter Commons has some bugs in the annotation processor code, which explains why running the gradle daemon causes compilation issues.

Specifically, I have been told that the code in the {{org.apache.aurora.common.args.apt}} package assumes it has a global view of the classpath which is not true with incremental compiles such as when compiling with the gradle daemon. The assumption of seeing the entire classpath means that on subsequent incremental compiles the args processor will write out a {{cmdline.arg.info.txt}} file that does not cover all the classes and will clobber the previously created {{cmdline.arg.info.txt}}. This will break the argument parsing as the {{cmdline.arg.info.txt}} will not contain all of the information needed to parse all of the arguments declared.

I am bumping the priority of this issue as it signals we are on non standard and buggy code.
