FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 8 64 bit

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Maven compilation with annotation processing enabled fails, if the target/generated-sources/metamodel directory is not empty.
If it's not empty, javac fails to compile.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create at least 1 JPA entity (@Entity) and a persistence unit
Configure maven to use an annotation processor (QueryDSL 3.6 or eclipseLink 2.5.2) during compilation (both tested, giving the same exception)
run: mvn compile twice, without using mvn clean in between, i.e.
> mvn clean compile
> mvn compile


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
compilation succeeds both times
ACTUAL -
The first compilation succeeds. the second fails with an exception.
