| <h1> |
| Annotation Processing |
| </h1> |
| <p>Annotation processors can generate additional Java code or other files, and produce problem markers, |
| based on Java 5 (JSR-175) annotations. The Annotation Processing preference pane permits configuration |
| of preferences that apply to all processors in a project or workspace. The <a href="factorypath.html"> |
| Factory Path preference pane</a> specifies which processors are enabled and permits configuration of |
| individual processors. |
| <h2> |
| Generated source directory |
| </h2> |
| <p>Files will be generated on disk relative to the specified directory. By default this directory |
| is named ".apt_generated", which causes it to be filtered out of the Package Explorer view. |
| The contents of this directory will be deleted when the project is cleaned, so it is important to only |
| use this directory for files generated by processors. Do not place any manually created files under |
| this directory. |
| <p>The generated source directory can only be changed in project-specific settings. This field is |
| not displayed when configuring workspace preferences. |
| <h2> |
| Processor options |
| </h2> |
| <p>Options entered here will be available to the processors via the AnnotationProcessorEnvironment |
| interface. Certain options are automatically provided to the processors; entering them in this dialog |
| will have no effect, since the automatically provided values will override any values set here. |
| The automatic options are described <a href="automatic_processor_options.html">here</a>. More |
| information about processor options is in the topic on <a href="processor_options_input.html">the |
| Processor Options input dialog</a>. |
