Annotation processor options are configured in the Annotation Processing preference dialog. Certain options are automatically provided to processors using the Java 5 Mirror API; entering them in the Annotation Processing preference dialog will have no effect, since the automatically provided values will override any values set there. The automatic options include the following:
RECONCILE, BUILD, or OTHER, depending
on whether the processor has been called during editing, during a build, or outside the
context of compilation, respectively. This option is only provided when running in the Eclipse IDE.
Except for phase, there are no automatically provided options for processors
using the Java 6 annotation processing API, because the JavaFileManager methods provide the same functionality.
