I have a project composed of several BUCK modules. Each module uses the same annotation processor to generate a single file for each annotated class. For the sake of simplicity, for each annotated class:
package com.myproject.module1;
@Marker
public class SomeFoo {
// ... code ...
}
a single class will be generated in the same package:
package com.myproject.module1;
@Generated
public class SomeFoo$$Marker {
// ... generated code ...
}
Let's say I have two such modules: module1 and module2
Lastly, I have a module3 which is dependent on both above-mentioned modules.
This module contains another annotation:
package com.myproject.module3;
@MarkerCollector
public class Bar {
}
I'm trying to use the same annotation processor (could be a separate one as well), to generate a class that references all previously generated files (due to classes marked with @Marker.
The problem is that the annotation processor runs for each module separately, when run in module3, the annotation processor doesn't 'see' the files generated in other modules.
I've tried using the annotation processor's Filer to create a resource file and write the class names of all generated files, but this resource file is too, created per module.
What's the best way to aggregate/access generated code from different modules?
