 The [`GeneratedVersion.java`](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/java/src/generated/java/com/example/GeneratedVersion.java) class will be automatically created in the `build/generated` directory upon compiling.
 
 Please look at [build.gradle](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/java/build.gradle) in the [examples/java](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/examples/java) directory for a sample.

-### Java 12
-
-Under Java 12+ (Gradle 5.4.1+), the directory containing the configuration files (`version.properties`, `version.mustache`) must be specified using the `semver.project.dir` processor argument.
-
-For example, if the configuration files are in the Gradle project directory, add the following to [build.gradle](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/examples/java/build.gradle):
-
-```gradle
-tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
-    if (JavaVersion.current().isJava12Compatible()) {
-        options.compilerArgs += [ "-Asemver.project.dir=$projectDir" ]
-    }
-}
-```
-
 ## Kotlin
 
 The annotation processor also supports [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org/).
