@Generated not found *javax.annotation.processing.Generated*

I am seeing this issue when trying to compile an Android project with Dagger2 (Google I/O 2018 sample app).

package javax.annotation.processing does not exist
import javax.annotation.processing.Generated;

I have tried the several solutions mentioned in the issues and stack overflow for resolving javax.annoation.Generated but not having any luck. Note the annotation is in the javax.annotation.processing package.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for android projects. Any tip how we can compile android, jdk9+ and dagger?

Manually create Generated interface in your project. There could be package exists in another module: java.compiler error if adding in android app module, but creating in android-library module (and then adding it to main via implementation project(':module-generated')) works fine.

I’ve uploaded package with such class to JCenter https://github.com/pengrad/jdk9-deps Now it’s possible to just add this gradle dependency and it compiles with JDK11: compileOnly 'com.github.pengrad:jdk9-deps:1.0'

My issue turned out to be related to JDK9 - explicitly using JDK 1.8 resolved the issue for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Add the following to gradle.properties

org.gradle.java.home={PATH TO JAVA 8}

Note setting JAVA_HOME did not work for me
