Maven integration with Eclipse JDT Annotation Processor Toolkit

Annotation processing messages are not well integrated into Eclipse #45

I have an Annotation Processor that reports errors and warnings.

Using the native Eclipse integration, errors and warnings are shown in both the Editor and Problems view, but using the m2e-apt plugin these messages are all shown in the Error log.

This is a problem because 1) not all developers will notice annotation messages in the Error log, 2) mesages remain in Error log after they have been resolved., 3) we want to use the m2e-apt plugin, so generated files follow Maven conventions.

I attach two screenshots showing messages from the same Annotation processor, the first using native Eclipse integration (adding Annotation Processor to FactoryPath) and the second using the m2e-apt integration with "experimental" delagation:

That's why it's experimental :-)

It is probably possible to get the errors back from the build invocation result and turn them into Error Markers, but I'm not 100% sure.

I don't have the bandwidth to investigate right now, so I recommend you provide a PR that fixes the issue. At the very least, providing a sample project exhibiting the problem would be helpful.

Yep, no problem, I'll see if I can create a PR.

m2e-apt's code is now included in https://github.com/eclipse-m2e/m2e-core , please consider reporting issue to https://github.com/eclipse-m2e/m2e-core/issues if it's still relevant.
