m2e-annotations

NOTE: https://github.com/jbosstools/m2e-apt is a more up-to-date alternative Maven plugin which does the same thing as this.

m2e-annotations - eclipse plugin that configures m2e eclipse projects to use annotation processors via org.bsc.maven:maven-processor-plugin.

Accordingly to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=199751 there will be built-in support for annotation processors, until that happens you can try this configurer.

There are some limitations:

there can be only one configuration per maven project
there can be only one output folder
all of the dependencies have to be added to the dependencies section of configuration element
