Annotation Processing in Gradle

[Richard Bair]

I know this is hopeless noise, sorry about that. But its too late now!

Building by hand:

Richards-MacBook-Pro-3:base richardbair$ javac -d /Users/richardbair/Projects/Work/jfx/graphics-8.0-refactor/javafx/modules/base/build/classes/main -g -classpath /Users/richardbair/Projects/Work/jfx/graphics-8.0-refactor/javafx/build-tools/build/libs/build-tools.jar /Users/richardbair/Projects/Work/jfx/graphics-8.0-refactor/javafx/modules/base/src/java/com/oracle/javafx/jmx/SGMXBean.java /Users/richardbair/Projects/Work/jfx/graphics-8.0-refactor/javafx/modules/base/src/java/com/sun/javafx/PlatformUtil.java
error: Exception thrown while constructing Processor object: null

And everything in that Jar which is on the classpath:

Richards-MacBook-Pro-3:base richardbair$ jar -tvf /Users/richardbair/Projects/Work/jfx/graphics-8.0-refactor/javafx/build-tools/build/libs/build-tools.jar

and "META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor has:

javafx.builder.processor.BuilderProcessor

as its content. Its a mystery to me. Wondering why META-INF is split on the top & bottom of that output, though.
