Jurrie Overgoor commented on CXF-8436:
--------------------------------------
Hi Freeman,
Point 1 and 3: alright, then let's not reuse the `--suppress-generated-date`
flag. (I rather dislike the generic name of that flag if it is only meant for
JavaDoc, but that's water under the bridge I suppose.) I don't really care how
the flag is called, as long as I'm able to remove the timestamp 😀 But out of
curiosity, what's the use case for having the timestamp removed from the
JavaDoc, but _not_ from the @Generated annotations?
Point 2: I hold a different opinion on what is the most important thing about
this annotation. And I think the original authors also didn't think the
timestamp was the most important. If they did, they would have made the
parameter required. I think it is wise to mark code that's been generated with
@Generated, simply because others can see it's generated, and changes would run
the risk of being overwritten. Also, [there is tooling like
Sonar|https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARJAVA-71] that can skip code
marked with @Generated. The timestamp is not required for that.
With kind regards,
Jurrie

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8436
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tooling
> Affects Versions: 3.3.8
> Reporter: Jurrie Overgoor
> Priority: Major
>
> We are trying to get our build reproducable. We use wsdl2java for generating
> Java classes from WSDL files, and currently have -mark-generated in effect.
> This causes problems, as there are timestamps written to the @Generated tag.
> I hoped that -suppress-generated-date would suppress this, but it only
> affects the generated Javadoc comment.
> Can we get -suppress-generated-date to also suppress outputting timestamps in
> the @Generated annotations?
