[jdt-apt-dev] Batch mode operation

Title: Batch mode operation

Jess, Just as a general follow up to my bugzilla comment:

[ https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106541 Bug 106541 - ClassLoader problem when generating code with APT ]

Your batch mode, as an optional alternative launch mechanism, sounds good to me, I can imagine some larger slower generators becoming painful if run during autobuilds, the ability to avoid this, whilst retaining the same configuration approach, may become very useful.

Tying things into the clean mechanism does not always make for the simplest way to trigger things, particularly as 'Clean' does not appear on the right click menu for projects. It can also be pretty time consuming in a large workspace/project.

Perhaps we need a separate 'Generate phase' mechanism for this purpose, maybe with it's own toolbar button/project menu, tied into tools like yours and also appearing as another selectable ant task target element in the ant-builder. And (getting even further off topic) if that were possible a 'Release' phase to run packaging tasks would be nice.

Hope this helps
