Compilation error due to QueryDSL annotation processor in Spring Data Couchbase 5.2.4

[ajschutte]

We just upgraded to Spring Boot 3.2.4 and Spring Data Couchbase 5.2.4. We are getting the compilation error below. Adding that javax dependency is not an option since we migrated to jakarta. There also does not seem to be an obvious way to disable QueryDSL annotation processing, at least not with Maven. We are really not interested in using QueryDSL with Couchbase.

I temporarily got around the issue by doing this:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.querydsl</groupId>
            <artifactId>querydsl-apt</artifactId>
            <version>${querydsl.version}</version>
            <classifier>jakarta</classifier>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-data-couchbase</artifactId>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>com.querydsl</groupId>
                    <artifactId>querydsl-apt</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

Our previous version was 5.2.2, so something changed from 5.2.2 -> 5.2.4 that causes this.

The error is pretty easy to replicate with a minimal project (that does not include the legacy javax library).

Can you provide that please.

The dependency was removed because of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-couchbase/issues/1917

Is the solution to add <classifier>jakarta</classifier> in the dependency for querydsl in spring-data-couchbase?

[ajschutte]

That should do it, provided the assumption is that all clients are on jakarta libs, which I think is what Spring Boot 3.x requires anyway,

This is the fix to exclude javax.inject, but not have CouchbaseAnnotationProcessor fail when it is missing - instead just output a warning.
