This error message is indicating that there is a circular dependency between two or more modules in your Java project, and annotation processing cannot be applied to them.
To resolve this issue, you need to exclude the modules involved in the cycle from annotation processing. This can be done by configuring your build tool (e.g. Maven, Gradle) to exclude the problematic modules during compilation.
Alternatively, you may need to refactor your code to break the circular dependency between these modules. This could involve reorganizing your codebase into separate packages or modules, or modifying the dependencies between different parts of your application.
Once you have resolved the circular dependency issue, you should be able to apply annotation processing as normal.
