Dagger 2 no classes generated

This isn't the best answer. When I used the downloaded JAR files (commented out in the POM file below) mine also wasn't generating the Dagger_ files. Once I added the repository to the POM, everything was working fine.

I had the same problem, only with the release version 2.0.

In my case the following two steps solved this problem:

• Adding target/generated-sources/annotations to my build path

• Adding <forceJavacCompilerUse>true</forceJavacCompilerUse> to the maven compiler plugin

    <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1</version>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.google.dagger</groupId>
                <artifactId>dagger-compiler</artifactId>
                <version>2.0</version>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
        <configuration>
            <source>1.8</source>
            <target>1.8</target>
            <!-- workaround for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-202 -->
            <forceJavacCompilerUse>true</forceJavacCompilerUse>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

For those using Gradle: Make sure you are referencing the Dagger dependencies as following:

compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0.2'
apt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0.2'

And in the case if you are running into apt not supported, add

1) Into module app\build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

2) Into project \build.gradle:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
    }
}
