title: Maven, NetBeans Platform, Wrapper Modules and Annotation Processors on dependencies
body: <p>I have a Maven NetBeans platform application. One of its modules is a wrapper to a java project (jar) that exposes some services to the Lookup. In the wrapped project I use the maven-processor-plugin to process the annotations so everything gets registered in the Lookup. I’m unable to see the exposed classes on the wrapped module. I tried running the maven-processor-plugin but it is skipped since there are no source files in the wrapped module. Even if there were it wouldn’t fix the problem.</p>
  
  <p>You can get the code <a href="https://bitbucket.org/javydreamercsw/simple-marauroa-rcp" rel="nofollow">here</a>, in the Marauroa Server Manager project, Module: jWrestling Wrapper.</p>
  
  <p>The code for the wrapped module can be found <a href="https://bitbucket.org/javydreamercsw/jwrestling" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Annotated classes within the modules work fine.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to execute the annotation processors on the dependencies of a project? Am I missing something obvious?</p>
