Specify the element that you're reporting the message against.  If you take 
a look at the API, you'll notice that there's a varargs parameter at the end 
of that printMessage() method - you need to give it an Element so it knows 
what to associate the message with.  Most likely that will be the type that 
you're processing at the time.

If that doesn't resolve it, please enter a bug, including a processor that 
reproduces the problem.  Thanks!
