Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-269:
--------------------------------------

I am fine with processing all annotations. As Emmanuel is saying it's not a runtime thing. This way it should also be easier to handle custom constraints. If we process all annotations we don't have to worry about how to ensure that the custom constraint gets processed. The only thing we need would be a mechanism to pass the validation logic for a custom constraint to the processor. 
This could be as easy as having a properties file where the key is the constraint class name and the value an implementation of a (yet to be specified) constraint declaration validation interface :) 
Of course these values could initially be passed via command line options (-A[key[=val]]) to the annotation processor.
