No idea.
I guess there is also the issue of license. Currently the annotation
processor
uses the Apache License (version 2). Partly out of historic reasons, since
in
the beginnings it was a prototype for Sun and partly out of the idea that
using
APL would make it easier for IDE/Tools to make use of it. So in order to
integrate
it into Core we would have to change that.
Somehow having a separate project seems wrong given the very specific
problem
the tool solves. Thoughts?
