Versions before 1.8 were building all artifacts of dependencies before any
artifacts of the depending product. This was not intended and arguably a bug,
because it inhibited parallelization. Now we strictly go by what the rules
declare.

Your code generation rule probably needs to look like this:
Rule {
// ...
inputsFromDependencies: ["application"]
// ...
}
Note that you can then refer to the generator executable via
inputs.application[0].filePath, rather than hardocding the location, as you are
presumably doing now.
