Anyone know if its possible to write a custom AnnotationProcessor for an application that isn't an Android app? All the tutorials I've seen online using Android and Google's AutoService but i'm using Spring Boot.

[ephemient]

you write an annotation processor (either APT or KSP) in the same way, regardless of whether it's meant to run on an Android project or not

[ephemient]

all AutoService does is save you from having to write resources/META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor yourself, it is unrelated to Android

[ephemient]

and making use of an annotation processor is the same for both Android and non-Android projects, just by adding the plugin and a kapt or ksp dependency
