This project is not actively maintained anymore, thanks to everyone who used it/gave feedback/submitted PR.

If you're using it in an Android project, have a look at this plugin instead. If you're using it in a java project, changes are that it's working but it won't be updated anymore. Feel free to fork it and add more features to it!

Gradle Apt Plugin

A Gradle plugin for the Java annotation processor tool.

Usage

Add the plugin to your buildscript's dependencies and add Sonatype's snapshot repository to be able to download it:

buildscript {
  dependencies {
      repositories {
        maven {
          url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
        }
        ...
      }
      
      classpath 'com.jimdo.gradle:gradle-apt-plugin:{latest-version}'
      ...
  }
}

Apply the apt plugin:

apply plugin: 'apt'

Add annotation processors dependencies using the apt configuration, i.e.:

apt 'com.squareup.dagger:dagger-compiler:1.1.0'

Run gradle build and find the generated files in the build/sources/apt/ directory (for now not configurable, it will be in the future).
