Description
JSR 199 needs a way to do something similar to these apt entry points:

package com.sun.tools.apt;
 
public class Main {
  ...
  public static int process(com.sun.mirror.apt.AnnotationProcessorFactory factory,
    java.lang.String... args);
 
  public static int process(com.sun.mirror.apt.AnnotationProcessorFactory factory,
    java.io.PrintWriter out,
    java.lang.String... args);
}
Comments
