[MPOM-453] Disable annotation processing by compiler by slawekjaranowski · Pull Request #157 · apache/maven-parent (original) (raw)

Is there a trick to this 'override with empty value' instruction? I tried this general approach after seeing it described here, but haven't been able to get it to work. Using Maven 3.9.4 and compiler-plugin 3.13.0, when I try this I simply get: error: invalid flag: -proc:

Setting the maven.compiler.proc property in the parent disables implicit annotation processing as desired. Setting it again to empty (<maven.compiler.proc></maven.compiler.proc>) in a child pom to override that disabling does alter the property, however it then just causes an error from the compiler seemingly because it is simple being passed -proc bare which it doesnt accept, resulting in the error: invalid flag: -proc:

What am I missing?

(It works if I use "full" instead of empty for the child pom property override, but just as was discussed on this PR and the related one, I dont want to use "full" because of its reliance on recent JDK builds for the backported support of that value)
