Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-3193:
------------------------------------

Alternatively, if you want to include the date, it should be based on a stable
value (e.g. last-modified timestamp of the originating .thrift).
{quote}
Not quite. Here's what [the Java
Docs|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/annotation/Generated.html]
say:
{quote}
The date element is used to *indicate the date the source was generated*.
{quote}
So either you generate them every day and get a new timestamp, or you don't.
Since both {{Date}} and {{Comment}} fields are considered optional, I am fine
with the proposed change. [Feel free to provide a patch or
PR|http://thrift.apache.org/docs/HowToContribute]. If someone else has
objections, please chime in.

> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1813 added the \@Generated

> causes issues in our automation which enforces that the generated files are
> always unchanged.
