   I appreciate your time in reviewing this code. I want to clarify that the 
intent of this patch is not just to add a log but to ensure that the compiler 
will run when only is set.
   With the existing plugin, the plugin would exit early with nothing to 
compile before ever calling compile() so the annotation processors could not 
run.
   Explicitly calling compile(compiler, config) in this situation even when 
there are no sources to compile aligns the functionality as described for    
javac -proc:only.
   The log message is meant to give the user clear feedback in the output that 
processors are running without an actual class being compiled.
