Building code with annotations+java constants

[jberkel]

When adding annotation to a scala class which refer to java constants you get the following error:

App.scala:9: annotation argument needs to be a constant; found: R.string.crash_notif_ticker_text
[error]             resNotifTickerText = R.string.crash_notif_ticker_text,

This is related to https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-2764. A workaround for now is to add the following to the project definition:

override def compileOrder = CompileOrder.JavaThenScala

We could make this the default for the plugin, but it will slow things down.

I'm affected by this problem.

Here is an excerpt of the problem:

import org.acra.{ACRA, ReportingInteractionMode}
import org.acra.annotation.ReportsCrashes

 @ReportsCrashes(
formKey = "",
formUri = "http://...",
httpMethod = HttpSender.Method.PUT, reportType = HttpSender.Type.JSON,
formUriBasicAuthLogin = "myuser", formUriBasicAuthPassword = "mypassword",
mode = ReportingInteractionMode.TOAST, forceCloseDialogAfterToast = false, resToastText = R.id.problem
)
class AplicacionInc extends android.app.Application {
}

The error I get is this:

Error:(22, 92) annotation argument needs to be a constant; found: R.id.problem
mode = ReportingInteractionMode.TOAST, forceCloseDialogAfterToast = false, resToastText = R.id.problem

Creating a val for "R.id.problem" doesn't help.
