Description
The context object will make it easier to decouple the annotation processor from the type system (for example, by making the ProcessingEnvironment available) . We can also think about a new object model for the Checker Framework so that initialization and wiring is not so tricky.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the annotation processor, type system, ProcessingEnvironment, initialization, and wiring currently interact. The issue provides no file or test entry point; done would require an agreed context object and a new object model that decouple these components and simplify initialization.
