Interesting. For me the metamodel generation is a classic example for using
an annotation processor.

What would be the right way then in your opinion?

Not sure. IMO the annotation processor is designed for exactly that. In fact if you
run the processor as part of the main compilation it does generation and compilation 
in the same build phase. I don't see the bad mojo here.

Sure, there is value in making it work smoothly. However, I prefer to start the
command line build first after checking out the code.

Cool
