Hi Johannes, Thanks for the reply.
If I try to force Eclipse to process annotations. I get this error... java.io.IOException: org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ResourceException: Resource '/JEX/bin/META-INF/json/org.scijava.plugin.Plugin' does not exist. at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.apt.pluggable.core.filer.IdeInputFileObject.openInputStream(IdeInputFileObject.java:88) at org.scijava.annotations.AnnotationProcessor$Writer.openInput(AnnotationProcessor.java:224) at org.scijava.annotations.AbstractIndexWriter.merge(AbstractIndexWriter.java:118) at org.scijava.annotations.AbstractIndexWriter.write(AbstractIndexWriter.java:91) at org.scijava.annotations.AnnotationProcessor.process(AnnotationProcessor.java:91) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.RoundDispatcher.handleProcessor(RoundDispatcher.java:139) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.RoundDispatcher.round(RoundDispatcher.java:121) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.apt.dispatch.BaseAnnotationProcessorManager.processAnnotations(BaseAnnotationProcessorManager.java:159) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.apt.pluggable.core.dispatch.IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.processAnnotations(IdeAnnotationProcessorManager.java:134) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.processAnnotations(Compiler.java:820) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:434) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.AbstractImageBuilder.compile(AbstractImageBuilder.java:366) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.BatchImageBuilder.compile(BatchImageBuilder.java:178) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.AbstractImageBuilder.compile(AbstractImageBuilder.java:303) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.BatchImageBuilder.build(BatchImageBuilder.java:60) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.JavaBuilder.buildAll(JavaBuilder.java:254) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.JavaBuilder.build(JavaBuilder.java:173) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager$2.run(BuildManager.java:733) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.SafeRunner.run(SafeRunner.java:42) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:206) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:246) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager$1.run(BuildManager.java:299) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.SafeRunner.run(SafeRunner.java:42) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:302) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:263) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.build(BuildManager.java:401) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Project$1.run(Project.java:618) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.run(Workspace.java:2345) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Project.internalBuild(Project.java:597) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Project.build(Project.java:114) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.util.CoreUtility$BuildJob.run(CoreUtility.java:161) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:53) Caused by: org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ResourceException: Resource '/JEX/bin/META-INF/json/org.scijava.plugin.Plugin' does not exist. at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Resource.checkExists(Resource.java:341) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Resource.checkAccessible(Resource.java:215) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.File.getContents(File.java:287) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.File.getContents(File.java:278) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.apt.pluggable.core.filer.IdeInputFileObject.openInputStream(IdeInputFileObject.java:86) ... 31 more Any idea why the file is not created on processing?
