I use annotation processing and in previous version of eclipse i needed to install the m2e-apt plugin and then configure eclipse to automatically configure annotation professing. but in the latest version (4.9) it appears I no longer need to install the plugin. Does eclipse 4.9 handle annotation processing without having to install the m2e-apt plugin? It seems the default now is 'Automatically configure JDT APT', and it picks up the necessary jar for processing based on the pom.xml file.

Hi

I'm afraid that I know nothing about m2e-apt, but I have observed that instability in the modularization of javax.annotation in recent/future Java releases is causing difficulties. It may be that Eclipse adjustments / a changed Java version may affect what you observe.
