@x80486 which annotation processors are you using? If it’s Spring’s annotation processor, it’s probably looking for Java annotations and not Kotlin annotations.

[x80486]

It might be something related with that. The Koltin ones: @kotlin.annotation.Retention(AnnotationRetention.RUNTIME) and @kotlin.annotation.Target(AnnotationTarget.TYPE) don't work; I use the Java ones (java.lang.annotation.*), everything is fine...so in the end it may be a Spring thing 😁

It’s been a while since I used spring, but the default used to be AOP, aspectJ is more powerful and could potentially process those Kotlin annotations, but that’s a rabbit hole that still gives me nightmares.
