The annotation processor should allow constraint annotations at non-getter methods
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HV-446
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-446
             Project: Hibernate Validator
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: annotation-processor
            Reporter: Gunnar Morling
             Fix For: 4.2.0.CR1


Currently the AP creates a compiler error if any non-getter method is annotated with constraint annotations. With the introduction of the method validation feature this check is no longer correct, the AP should allow constraints at any non-static method.

We might also introduce a processor option that controls, whether constraints at non-getters are allowed or not. That way users who don't work with method validation could keep the current behavior.
