Description

Apt (Annotation Processing Tool) was merged into javac in Java 6. The compiler plugin should support this new functionality, which means supporting the following new arguments:

  -proc:{none,only}          Control whether annotation processing and/or compilation is done.
  -processor <class1>[,<class2>,<class3>...]Names of the annotation processors to run; bypasses default discovery process
  -processorpath <path>      Specify where to find annotation processors
  -s <directory>             Specify where to place generated source files
  -implicit:{none,class}     Specify whether or not to generate class files for implicitly referenced files
  -Akey[=value]              Options to pass to annotation processors

Note that this should supersede the Apt Maven Plugin at Mojo by encompassing all of its functionality:
