----------------------------------------------------------------------
An example for this more than suboptimal behavior is the annotation processor
for the static static metamodel generator of eclipselink. This processor will
add the complete eclipselink dependencies to the compile-classpath which is
IMHO MORE than suboptimal.
Oh also the version 3.1 of maven-compiler-plugin is affected ;-)

> Key: MCOMPILER-203
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-203
> Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.3.2
> Environment: Java 6+
> Reporter: David M. Lloyd
>
> Right now the status quo for annotation processor artifacts requires one of
> two actions:
> # Use an external plugin for annotation processing
> # Put the annotation processor in as a dependency with {{provided}} scope
> The former is suboptimal because the external plugins are clunky and
> ill-supported, and inflexible/hard to use. The latter is suboptimal because
> it is often the case that you do not want to leak annotation processor
> classes on to the application class path.
> It should be possible to add annotation processor dependency artifacts to the
> compiler plugin configuration such that they are recognized by the annotation
> processing search algorithm of the compiler, but they do not actually appear
> on the compilation class path. Ideally they would also be isolated from one
> another (dependency graphs and all), but that's more of a "nice to have".
