allow explicit specification of annotation processor.

javac auto-discover annotation processor using META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor or be explicitly told using -processor argument.  Feature request is for Eclipse to support the latter.

Need this to work around http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1382 without needing to hack the jar file

Reproducible: Always

Hi, Howard.  This and Bug 303914 both seem like pretty reasonable suggestions, if appropriate UI can be devised.  However, not much active development is happening on APT right now, due to lack of resources.  Would you be interested in developing and contributing a patch yourself?
