I'm seeing exactly the same issue. Works great in Mars (4.5.2) but you see this exception in Neon (4.6.0) - using ubuntu 16.04 and JDK 1.8. The exception doesn't make a lot of sense to me, it looks like something about the eclipse compiler has changed between releases.

Great annotation BTW, looks great in Mars.

Thirded. Does not work in neon

It doesn't work also from my Eclipse Neon.

These link seems to be interesting but without solution :

What happens if you change the pom.xml to remove provided ? like this:

<groupId>org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler</groupId>

<artifactId>ecj</artifactId>

<version>3.5.0</version>
