[MCOMPILER-607] Build fails when annotation processor list is empty (but present)

[jira-importer]

dennis lucero opened MCOMPILER-607 and commented

The build fails when there is no annotationProcessor in the annotationProcessors block:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.13.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <annotationProcessors>
            <!-- <annotationProcessor>org.example.MyAnnotationProcessor</annotationProcessor> -->
            <!-- <annotationProcessor>com.example.OtherAnnotationProcessor</annotationProcessor> -->
        </annotationProcessors>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Annotationsprozessor "" nicht gefunden

(Translation: Annotation processor "" not found)

The reason I keep the annotationProcessors block is that the OtherAnnotationProcessor was already commented out and I wanted to additionally disable the MyAnnotationProcessor. To put the whole annotationProcessors in a comment I would have to remove the comment characters from the OtherAnnotationProcessor (and possibly many more). Undoing that would also be more cumbersome than modifying a single line.
