Example Project

Given the attached project, When the installer in Killer1 restores, it only finds one Provider for the interface Installer.Foo instead of the expected 2 with the annotation, one of them is in a method. I think that either:
a. It should work or
b. The annotation processor of ServiceProvider should raise a compile error if the class in question is in a method or otherwise inaccessible.
Just my 10¢.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Havlin 2015-03-04 15:03:09 UTC 
I'm sorry, annotation of the local (nested in method) class is not processed by annotation processors, i.e. it is not contained in the set returned from RoundEnvironment.getElementsAnnotatedWith(ServiceProvider.class), so it's not easy to detect that it is used incorrectly.

I'm not sure this can be fixed in the near future.
Thank you for reporting.
