Background: I'm adding some annotations to one of our test modules such that everything in a specific package needs to be annotated. I have already written an AnnotationProcessor which does this.
The problem: My processor successfully works for me when I run mvn generate-test-sources and mvn test. However, I would like it to show errors in our development IDEs (Eclipse and IntelliJ). I have not tried with IntelliJ, but with Eclipse, I'm having issues. I've installed m2e-apt, but when I toggled between the settings it didn't seem to work. A test which was not properly annotated was not getting errors (and other modules which didn't inherit the processor plugin got NPEs when being built).
What are my options for having streamlined capability to show errors in IDEs for AnnotationProcessors?
