Description

The beehive-tools.xml file has a set of macros for processing annotations on Java source files; today, the annotations are processed and then the source files compiled. In some build situations (like the NetUI coreWeb webapp), it can be useful to process annotations on all of the source files and then <javac> in a single step.

This change enables this sort of build scenario and avoids some of the problems apt.exe has with resolving types that are generated during annotation processing.

Planning on fixing this for Beehive 1.0.1
