Allow to set-up MapStruct for Java projects through the plug-in #6
Description
When working with a Maven project for which MapStruct is enabled (e.g. through via maven-processor-plugin), upon import of the project M2E will automatically configure the Eclipse project to run the MapStruct annotation processor.
But for plain "Java Project"s it'd be nice if the plug-in could be used to set up MapStruct. It could like this:
- Under "Project Properties" have an entry "MapStruct"
- On that page have a check box "Enable MapStruct for this project"; When checked this should register the annotation processor (AFAIK there is an extension point through which APs can be registered)
- Allow to specify the processor options through check boxes as well
- Optionally, have a global preferences pane which can be used to configure default values for the processor options which would be overridden by project-scoped settings
@larswetzer WDYT, would that make sense?

Very good idea! I think the features you've listed here can be realized using the Eclipse concept of Project Natures. A MapStruct Project Nature could be linked with the annotation processor.

E.g. this user in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mapstruct-users/0b-WOfgbLpE would benefit from this feature I guess :)
