AFAICT, currently JDT only uses annotation processors which are registered via META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor; there is no analogue of the javac -processor <class> option to configure an unregistered processor.

This makes it impossible to use processors that are not registered, e.g. [1].
