External Configuration

[johncarl81]

Beans to be enhanced by the annotation processor may not exist in the current compile pass (ie: in an external library or from code generation). Therefore, we need a way to configure Parceler to find these classes.

The idea is to add an annotation that Parceler will recognize:

@ParcelClass(Example.class)

Since this annotation doesn't rely on the class that it annotates, this configuration can appear anywhere. Perhaps on the Application class or some other convenient configuration point:

@ParcelClass(Example.class)
public class SomeApplication extends Application{
//...
}

Ended up with the following api:

@ParcelClasses{
    @ParcelClass(Example.class),
    @ParcelClass(value = Example2.class), converter=Example2Converter.class
}
public class SomeApplication extends Application{
//...
}

Which allows for multiple Parcels to be defined along with the associated optional manual converter.
