Is there a way to run programs using MapStruct without doing a maven clean install each time?

Mapstruct generates a class after doing mvn clean install, but if it's not done, and I run my spring boot application I get a class not found exception. I was wondering if there was anything I can do to my Eclipse or add something in my pom.xml files (it's multiple projects so I need to do mvn clean install on each project first) so that Mapstruct generates the class when I just run my program normally

In order to have the classes generated by the IDE you would need to set it up.

You can read more about Eclipse integration for MapStruct here.

In a nutshell you need to install the m2e-apt plugin for Eclipse, which picks up and applies the annotation processor settings automatically.

You would also need to add the following to your <properties> in your pom.xml

<!-- automatically run annotation processors within the incremental compilation -->
<m2e.apt.activation>jdt_apt</m2e.apt.activation>
