dennis lucero opened MTOOLCHAINS-59 and commented

When using toolchains with Java versions 19 and later, some compiler error messages are not visible.

Example project:

{}org/example/Empty.java{}:

package org.example;

public class Empty {
}

{}pom.xml{}:

The empty annotationProcessors block causes an error (MCOMPILER-607), but the message is only visible with Java versions up to 18.

Output with maven.compiler.release set to 18:

As you can see, the essential message error: Annotation processor '' not found is only present with a toolchain Java version up to 18. If I remember correctly, this also affects messages emitted from annotation processors. Other compiler messages, for example syntax errors in Java source files, are not affected.

The bug goes away (the error message is shown) when I remove the <goal>toolchain</goal>:
