AspectJ maven plugin with annotation processor - sources are generated twice

I'm experiencing some strange behaviour when combining the AspectJ compiler plugin with an annotation processor that generates sources.
I have Project A, the main project with annotated classes.
I have Project B, the dependency project with aspect classes and the annotation processor.
Ideally, what should happen, is upon compilation of project A, sources generated from annotated classes in Project A, using the annotation processor in project B should be compiled and saved in target/generated-sources/annotations/...
What actually happens is, upon compilation of project A, sources are generated in target/generated-sources/annotations/... and then generated a second time at the root of project A.

A workaround I found for this is to add <proc>none</proc> under <configuration> of the AspectJ compiler, but it's just a workaround. Am I missing something?
I've also found this question that seems to describe a similar issue.

Which dependency auto imports struts dependency

I want to remove struts dependency from my repository.It is being auto imported by some other dependency.
I think it is org.apache.velocity but after putting exclusion as well, Maven imports struts. Please help me identify which dependency auto imports struts.

I can't give you a pom.xml file with the correct exclusions, but you may try running the following command from your project root folder:
man dependency:tree
Then, copy the output into a text editor and do a search for struts. If one or more of the other dependencies is bringing it in, you should see that happening. Then, once you have identified the dependencies which are including it, you may exclude it:
<dependency>
<groupId>sample.ProjectA</groupId>
<artifactId>Project-A</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts-core</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

It's possible that Maven is downloading Struts for its own purposes. I know that until fairly recently, the maven-dependency-plugin and the maven-javadoc-plugin both had Struts as a dependency.
Try temporarily removing all of your own dependencies from the project and see if the problem still happens.
On that point, it would help with answering your question if you could tell us what Maven command reproduces the problem.

How to force the dependency to include an artifact with a specific version number

I get this error when trying to build GWT project with maven:
Your project declares dependency on gwt-user 2.6.0. This plugin is
designed for at least gwt version 2.7.0
As I found out gwt-user 2.6.0 is downloaded with com.google.gwt.eventbinder.
How I can force com.google.gwt.eventbinder using gwt-user 2.7.0 instead 2.6.0?
The strange thing is that the build worked before I did 'git pull'.
Here is my pom.xml

Solution 1
The problem is eventbinder has dependency on gwt-user artifact. it uses 2.6.0 by default you can see it by using this command.
mvn dependency:tree
If you add this dependency block to your pom;
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-user</artifactId>
<version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>
It will look like this...
This means your project will have gwt-user 2.7.0 all the time, i haven't tested if everything is ok with version compatibility or something your problem will be solved..
Solution 2
Thanks for the #Thomas Broyer's comment we can force eventbinder to use 2.7.0 gwt-user or any gwt dependency. if we just add this dependency management to our pom
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt</artifactId>
<version>2.7.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
The result :

What is the correct maven groovy gmaven pom configuration?

Hello I'm trying to use groovy with java, on java maven project, I think I provided every artifacts and plugins needed to run it well, here is my pom :
pom content
and here is the exception caught after trying to build
I linked it to pastebin cause I enabled -X option to get full stack trace trace

Finally I found a way to get a pom working with gmaven 1.4, groovy 2.0 and java 7, inspired by this project "primefaces-groovy-cassandra"
here is a simple pom of a war type application :
`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>`
