Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-1813:
-------------------------------------
do we really need the new function autogen_summary?
why is autogen_comment not sufficient?
rebased patches are welcome!
> Add @Generated annotation to generated classes
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: THRIFT-1813
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1813
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java - Compiler
> Reporter: Arvind Jayaprakash
> Attachments: thrift-1813-generated-annotation.patch

>
> Why?
> # A lot of static analysis tools understand the javax.annotation.Generated
> annotation and treat those classes differently.
> # Setting the date field with the date & comments field with the version of
> the thrift compiler might prove to be valuable for tracing the origins of the
> generated file.
> The overheads should be minimal as the retention policy of the annotation is
> purely at a source level
