@Generated not found

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I think it’s a problem with my environment (java 1.7.0_51, 64 bit, mac os 10.10), but I’m using Android Studio and tried to setup a simple android sample application with dagger 2 as dependency injection framework.

My compiler can not resolve the @Generated annotation in class path (import javax.annotation.Generated;) which is used in all dagger generated classes.

My gradle build file looks like this:

compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0-SNAPSHOT'
provided 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0-SNAPSHOT'

Any idea what could be wrong? Do I have to add the javax annotation dependency to my build.gradle?

@sockeqwe: just fast fix but did you tried to add this:

compile 'org.glassfish:javax.annotation:10.0-b28'

Probably this happened because the system JDK_HOME is more upgraded then the JDK that comes with Android Studio
