In the modular world, javac will look for annotation processor in the module-path (only if the annotation processor module is required by the module-info, you can use "required static" or uses with the service) and javac will also look to the --processor-module-path with again a nice separation because the source code doesn't see the module inside the module.

Everything works cleanly if there is no module-info.java, if you have a module-info.java, you have two cases
 1) your annotation processor is itself a module, if you do a requires on it, Maven will put it in the module-path, so it will work (but there is no nice separation provided by --processor-module-path)
 2) your annotation processor is not a module, you can do a require on it but Maven will not put it on the module-path because it's not a module, so you have to use the <processor-path> of the Maven compiler plugin
