Setup Java 6 annotation processing configuration for eclipse compiler with maven

Question

What\'s the best way to setup the eclipse project compiler configuration for Java 6 annotation processors?

My solution is to setup the org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.pre

I am using http://code.google.com/p/maven-annotation-plugin/ wich is simpler to configure. You can use it in two ways:

• generate sources during compilation (configuration below)
• generate sources "by hand" to src/main/generated and keep them on SCM

       
            org.bsc.maven
            maven-processor-plugin
            
                
                    process
                    
                        process
                    
                    generate-sources
                    
                        -encoding ${project.build.sourceEncoding}
                    
                
            
        



       
            org.bsc.maven
            maven-processor-plugin
            
                
                    process-test
                    
                        process-test
                    
                    generate-test-sources
                    
                        -encoding ${project.build.sourceEncoding}
