getting error at spring-hibernate-maven project

annotations, hibernate, maven, spring

Solution

Adding jaxen to your libraries fixes this problem.

If you disable annotation processing in project properties, it will start working as well, but then you cannot use things like lombok (lombok generates getters/setters/hashcode/constructors on the fly).

Edit: Jaxen was hosted at codehouse, but codehouse is discontinued and jaxen.org is outdated. The link above points to maven repository, I am not sure if there is anything better.

Problem

I am getting "class file functionContext not found" error when I try to run project. It was running without errors but after i write some unit tests and delete them It started to give this error. Here is the error stack trace; COMPILATION ERROR : ``` Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error: An annotation processor threw an uncaught exception. Consult the following stack trace for details. java.lang.RuntimeException: com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$CompletionFailure: class file for org.jaxen.FunctionContext not found at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.modelgen.CanonicalModelProcessor.process(CanonicalModelProcessor.java:407) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.callProcessor(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:793) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.discoverAndRunProcs(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:722) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.access$1700(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:97) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment$Round.run(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:1029) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.doProcessing(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:1163) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler.processAnnotations(JavaCompiler.java:1108) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler.compile(JavaCompiler.java:824) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main.compile(Main.java:439) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main.compile(Main.java:353) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main.compile(Main.java:342) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main.compile(Main.java:333) at com.sun.tools.javac.Main.compile(Main.java:94) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) at org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.javac.JavacCompiler.compileInProcess(JavacCompiler.java:554) at org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.javac.JavacCompiler.compile(JavacCompiler.java:161) at org.apache.maven.plugin.AbstractCompilerMojo.execute(AbstractCompilerMojo.java:605) at org.apache.maven.plugin.CompilerMojo.execute(CompilerMojo.java:128) at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:101) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:209) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:153) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:145) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:84) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:59) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleStarter.singleThreadedBuild(LifecycleStarter.java:183) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleStarter.execute(LifecycleStarter.java:161) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.doExecute(DefaultMaven.java:320) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.execute(DefaultMaven.java:156) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.execute(MavenCli.java:537) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.doMain(MavenCli.java:196) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:141) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launchEnhanced(Launcher.java:290) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:230) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:409) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:352) Caused by: com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$CompletionFailure: class file for org.jaxen.FunctionContext not found ```
