I stumbled upon this (from the inside.java website):

There is a plan to disable annotation compilers by default.

A flag on the command line will need to be added to enable them (by name, path, or module path).

The issue points that build tools are used anytime now, and as annotation processors are used at build time the command line flag could be added to the build tool.

Regarding how common annotation processors are (Micronaut, Lombok, even Quarkus for some extensions, ...) I wonder if it will be another pain in our Java developer life ...
