Annotation Processing in Gradle

[Mark Fortner]

I'd have to agree with Danno on this one.  The problem is the clutter
factor.  When you have a large number of classes and resources stored
together it gets harder to find what you're looking for when you're
scanning through the project tree.  It's easier if the resources are
separated.  It's also difficult to build with maven if you don't follow the
standards. :-)

Cheers,

Mark
