Turns out it is another classical chicken and egg problem. I tried to return a MappingException which is at the time the annotation processor runs not compiled yet (In Search and Validator we use exceptions which are available on the classpath).
A solution would be to first compile exceptions prior to running the annotation processor, but that would make the build even more complicated. The alternative is to just return a string 

	@Message(value = "Unable to find mapping information for %s. Are you sure all annotated classes and configuration files are added?", id = 443)
	String missingEntitySource(String entityName);

and use this string in the exception constructor.
