Page Flow annotation processors generate files in an IDE-unfriendly way
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEEHIVE-915
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-915
Project: Beehive
Type: Bug
Components: NetUI
Versions: v1m1
Reporter: Rich Feit
Assigned to: Rich Feit
Priority: Critical
When the Page Flow annotation processors create files (when running under Sun's
apt), they do not use the Filer interface to create the files. This works fine
on the command line, but it won't work in an IDE, which needs to know
when/where files are created.
Unfortunately, Filer offers only two choices of places to create files: the
source directory and the build directory. This means that to fix this bug, our
generated files need to move out of WEB-INF, into WEB-INF/classes, i.e., they
will not only be generated into a different place, but they will be read
through a different mechanism in the runtime.
I'm marking this as Critical, since not fixing this will mean that the current
Beehive version can't be tooled correctly in an IDE.
