Hello everyone, I recently started contributing with small changes to some of the Maven projects (mainly enforcer and IT repo) and I am now looking where I could help further.
One of the areas that caught my eye is the maven-compiler-plugin and specifically the annotationProcessorPaths feature. It seems there are quite a few open JIRAs with feature requests and bugs. From what I could find: - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-391 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-395 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-503 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-496 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-264 At first I would like to take a look at MCOMPILER-391, which is requesting that the dependencies under annotationProcessorPaths use <dependencyManagement> to resolve a proper version (instead of requiring users to explicitly specify the version as part of the annotationProcessorPaths entry). I remember I had to fight with this one before as well as a user. Would that (MCOMPILER-391) be a good place to start, or are there any blocker issues / concerns which are the reason this feature have not been yet implemented? Also, would there be anyone specifically interested in maybe reviewing the proposed changes? Or should I just open the PRs and someone will eventually take a look? Thanks, Petr
