I already have a working solution where I can specify with maven which classes to not compile when using a particular maven profile.
But I would like to use a general solution and use an annotation instead
The current solution that I have is like
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin
true
**/something/*ClassPattern.java
**/something/*ClassPatternTest.java
But Some thing like
@NotCompiledForProduction
would be rather nice on top of a class.
It seems to me that this might be hard (or impossible to do) without changing maven's behaviour. That is not the scope here. And this kind of annotation
解决方案
You cannot (I assume) use an annotation to determine what source code gets presented to the java compiler, because you need to compile the source code in the first place to process the annotation.
It seems like you need to create different modules in your maven project: one that generates a jar file with the production code, and one module that generates a jar file with testing implementation with a dependency on the production artifact.
If the code really does need to be in the same maven module, then the code should always be compiled. You can however use maven-jar-plugin to create multiple artifacts at the package phase: the default artifactId.jar, and an artifactId-test-lib.jar artifact. You can do this by specifying multiple executions for the plugin, and using and to split the jar files as required.
