JDK-7041249 - Remove apt tool and API from the JDK
Description
apt produces the following output:

 /opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0/bin/apt -J-Xbootclasspath/p::/w/jjg/work/jtreg-failures/tl/7/langtools/build/classes @options7
apt Round : 1
filenames: []
options: com.sun.tools.javac.util.Options@1a679b7
apt Round : 2
filenames: [./src/Round1.java]
options: com.sun.tools.javac.util.Options@77a7f9
apt Round : 3
filenames: [./src/AhOne.java, ./src/AndAhTwo.java]
options: com.sun.tools.javac.util.Options@15663a2

Options should be printed in a more helpful format
Comments
Since apt has been removed from JDK 8 (JDK-7041249), this bug is being closed as will not fix. The analogous options to print annotation processing information in javac do not print options so this issue not does exist for javac.
