It's a chicken-and-egg problem only because you're trying to trick Maven
into doing something it wasn't designed for. You simply cannot (should
not?) reference types that are not really available yet in a code generator.
Perhaps you did find somewhat of a loophole and it does work to some
extent, but there's risk of your solution breaking again.
This is the reason why the jOOQ code generator never references any types
but only type names (e.g. what you put in forcedType / userType). This way,
it doesn't actually have to *know* the Class reference until the generated
code is compiled *after generation*
It seems to me that you can easily solve your problem by adhering to a
naming convention:
new ForcedType()
.withName(Visibility.class.getCanonicalName())
.withExpression("visibility")
.withUserType(Visibility.class.getCanonicalName())
.withConverter("com.example." + Visibility.class.getSimpleName() +
"Converter")
Hope this helps,
