Just checked our jmh-ant-sample and it works, which means the problem is
specific to your scenario. The attachments were scrubbed, but I got them
in the moderator note. Can you publish the Ant build file as well? "ant
-v" and "java -version" would also be appreciated.

These lines are important:

That's a separate @CompilerControl processor, and this is why the
benchmark is still generated.

No need to publish the generated source.
