QueryDsl doesn't generate Q class using Spring Boot and Maven

Question

I don't know why but I can't generate the query class using spring boot and query dsl.

This is my pom.xml:

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>

I aslo add to the build path the generated folder, but it is empty. Did I forget any configuration for query dsl?

Answer 1

in my case I had to add <classifier>jakarta</classifier> to the dependencies of querydsl. Then I could find generated classes in target/generated-sources

         <dependency>
            <groupId>com.querydsl</groupId>
            <artifactId>querydsl-apt</artifactId>
            <version>${querydsl.version}</version>
            <classifier>jakarta</classifier>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.querydsl</groupId>
            <artifactId>querydsl-jpa</artifactId>
            <version>${querydsl.version}</version>
            <classifier>jakarta</classifier>
        </dependency>

Answer 2

Use com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor also works for me.

        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.mysema.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-apt-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.4</version>

                        <goal>process</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                    <!--
                    <configuration>
                        <sourceDirectory>src/main/java/com/uniarb/autogds/dao/entity</sourceDirectory>
                    </configuration>
                    -->
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/apt</outputDirectory>
                <processors>
                    <processor>com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor</processor>
                </processors>
                <options>
                    <querydsl.entityAccessors>true</querydsl.entityAccessors>
                    <querydsl.createDefaultVariable>true</querydsl.createDefaultVariable>
                    <querydsl.packageSuffix>.apt</querydsl.packageSuffix>
                </options>
            </configuration>

                <dependency>
                    <groupId>com.mysema.querydsl</groupId>
                    <artifactId>querydsl-apt</artifactId>
                    <version>3.7.3</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </plugin>

Answer 3

I was using the wrong processor, I have to use com.querydsl.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor instead of com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor

So this is the entire plugin :

 <plugin>
  <groupId>com.mysema.maven</groupId>
  <artifactId>apt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.3</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>process</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <outputDirectory>target/generated-sources/java</outputDirectory>
        <processor>com.querydsl.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor</processor>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
