Christoph Henrici updated GROOVY-11388:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
My question is simple : Does Groovy support Annotation Processors, like 
Mapstruct , Lombok or even custom Processors : 
[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/annotation/processing/Processor.html]
 ?

Please, no opionated answers, just facts and fact based explanations. There are 
many confusioning, strongly subjective and optinated posts in the web 
(Stacktrace and such, and even here), which trend towards no, you don‘t need 
it, i don't recommend, Lombok is a hack etc etc, but nothing really conclusive, 
substantial and objective. 

My Testcase does seems to indicate that at least the Lombok Annotation 
Processor is not supported , see : 
[https://github.com/chhex/groovylombok/tree/main]

But it also may well be, that i am missing something in the Gradle Build. 

If this is a redundant post, sorry! I really like Groovy and am using it 
frequently, it would be just great to have good understanding of it‘s 
limitations, if that is the case.

Best thanks for any help.
