Auto Common Utilities
========
## Overview
The Auto project has a set of common utilities to help ease use of the annotation processing
environment.
## Utility classes of note
* MoreTypes - utilities and Equivalence wrappers for TypeMirror and related subtypes
* MoreElements - utilities for Element and related subtypes
* SuperficialValidation - very simple scanner to ensure an Element is valid and free from
distortion from upstream compilation errors
* Visibility - utilities for working with Elements' visibility levels (public, protected, etc.)
* BasicAnnotationProcessor/ProcessingStep - simple types that
- implement a validating annotation processor
- defer invalid elements until later
- break processor actions into multiple steps (which may each handle different annotations)
## Usage/Setup
Auto common utilities have a standard [Maven](http://maven.apache.org) setup which can also be
used from Gradle, Ivy, Ant, or other systems which consume binary artifacts from the central Maven
binary artifact repositories.
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.auto</groupId>
<artifactId>auto-common</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <!-- or use a known release version -->
</dependency>
```
## Processor Resilience
Auto Common Utilities is used by a variety of annotation processors in Google and new versions
may have breaking changes. Users of auto-common are urged to use
[shade](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/) or
[jarjar](https://code.google.com/p/jarjar/) (or something similar) in packaging their processors
so that conflicting versions of this library do not adversely interact with each other.
For example, in a Maven build you can repackage `com.google.auto.common` into
`your.processor.shaded.auto.common` like this:
```xml
<project>
<!-- your other config -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactSet>
<excludes>
<!-- exclude dependencies you don't want to bundle in your processor -->
</excludes>
</artifactSet>
<relocations>
<relocation>
<pattern>com.google.auto.common</pattern>
<shadedPattern>your.processor.shaded.auto.common</shadedPattern>
</relocation>
</relocations>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
```
