SBT Compiler Plugin as Transitive Dependency - scala

Question

I have a library that uses the macro paradise plugin (referred to as macro-provider library). In the build.sbt,
addCompilerPlugin("org.scalamacros" % "paradise" % "2.0.0" cross CrossVersion.full)
to gain access to the macro annotations.
When adding the macro library as a libraryDependency to a separate project (referred to as macro-consumer project), the annotations are present, but the macro implementation is never called. Adding the macro paradise compiler plugin to the macro-consumer project libraryDependencies solves the problem.
Is it possible to include compiler plugins as transitive dependencies? This would free consumers of the macro library from adding the required plugin.
Update #1:
The addCompilerPlugin helper adds the dependency to the libraryDependencies and sets the dependency with a configuration = Some("plugin->default(compile)") within the macro-provider library.
Adding the paradise dependency in the libraryDependencies of the macro-provider library causes the artifact to show up in the macro-consumer project. It does not add the dependency as a compiler plugin.
Update #2:
Setting autoCompilerPlugins := true in the macro-consumer project in conjunction with Update #1 does not resolve the issue.

Answer 1

The only way I found to resolve this issue was by adding a sbt-plugin sub-module that includes the settings required. The plugin is very basic,
package fixme
import sbt._
import Keys._
object Plugin extends sbt.Plugin {
val paradiseVersion = "2.0.0"
val fixmeVersion = "1.4"
val fixmeSettings: Seq[Setting[_]] = Seq(
resolvers += "tysonjh releases" at "http://tysonjh.github.io/releases/",
libraryDependencies <++= (scalaVersion) { v: String ⇒
(if (v.startsWith("2.10")) List("org.scalamacros" %% "quasiquotes" % paradiseVersion % "compile")
else Nil) :+
"org.scala-lang" % "scala-reflect" % v % "compile" :+
"com.tysonjh" %% "fixme" % fixmeVersion % "compile"
},
addCompilerPlugin("org.scalamacros" % "paradise" % paradiseVersion cross CrossVersion.full))
}
This can be used by including in your project/plugins.sbt,
resolvers += "tysonjh releases" at "http://tysonjh.github.io/releases/"
addSbtPlugin("com.tysonjh" % "sbt-fixme" % "1.4")
and the build.sbt file,
fixmeSettings
The sbt-plugin settings add the macro paradise plugin as a compiler dependency and the macro implementation as a library dependency.
