In Project Annotation Proccessor
very short: Some classes are required by my annotation proccessor which when run first compiles the whole project to run which fails because of the classes that its generating missing in some other classes because they are loaded at the same time causing a chikcen egg problem. Running in different sub projects causes either a dependency loop or missing dependencies for some classes with dependencies.
full explenation:
I recently stumbled across annotation Proccessing and wrote one that works for my purposes as long as its in a different gradle project. However If I want to add something that utilises Classes from my main Code I need to change the location to that other class including that classes dependencies which is quite annoying. However I cant put it in the same project since parts of my code are generated using that annotation Proccessor. That means that the compilation which is needed before the processing fails since the imports to those auto generated classes fail since they are deleted on regeneration. meaning a chicken and egg problem. However the classes that use that generated code are not required by my processor. Meaning I basically would have to only compile the annotation processor first and then the classes as it needs them. After that the rest can be compiled. Question is how could I do that? any other way is also fine by me.
