This means we can rely on the Java compiler to parse the source code instead of the old python library which no longer works as it only supported Java 8 source code. The new processor generates a META-INF/heritrix-beans.json file for each module at compile time which the sphinx beandoc plugin then reads.
My intent is to eventually use the heritrix-beans.json files to also implement autocomplete and context-sensitive help in the Heritrix config editor.
