 In addition, it exposes a `openApiGenerator` configuration which can be used to declare additional dependencies to put on the generator classpath.
 This can be useful in case you want to implement your own generators, in which case you will also have to implement custom tasks which extend the link:api/io/micronaut/gradle/openapi/tasks/AbstractOpenApiGenerator.html[AbstractOpenApiGenerator task type].

+=== Automatic annotationProcessor dependencies
+
+When the plugin detects you have a dependency with a group id corresponding to a known annotation processor for it, it adds the annotation processor automatically. The following annotation processors are currently supported by this feature.
+
+* `io.micronaut.data:micronaut-data-processor`
+* `io.micronaut.jaxrs:micronaut-jaxrs-processor`
+* `io.micronaut.micrometer:micronaut-micrometer-annotation`

+=== Suppressing automatic dependencies
+
+In some circumstances, automatic dependencies – e.g. annotation processors listed above – can get in the way. This should be rare, but it is possible to suppress them, as follows. It has no default and using suppression shifts responsibility of adding the dependencies to the user.
