How can I configure IntelliJ IDEA to have Annotation processors enabled by default?
Currently, I have to enable it manually for every imported project.

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler | Annotation Processors.
Annotation processing is a tool built into javac for scanning and processing annotations at compile time. It can create new source files; however, it can't modify existing ones. It's done in rounds. The first round starts when the compilation reaches the pre-compile phase.
The module with the disabled "Annotate" option was in the "Unregistered Roots" section. To fix the problem, I selected the module and pressed the "+" icon in the lower toolbar to register the module root with Intellij VCS. The change is immediate and the "Annotate" options becomes available.
Current IDE version:
File | New Project Settings | Settings for New Projects..., navigate to the compiler settings, annotation processing and enable this option before importing the project.
Previous versions:
File | Other Settings | Default Settings, navigate to the compiler settings, annotation processing and enable this option before importing the project.
