-----------------------------
> Add a @Generated annotation to mark generated members
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-8352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8352
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: class generator
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0-alpha-1
> Reporter: Andres Almiray
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.6.0-alpha-2, 2.5.0-beta-3
>
>
> Rationale:
> Tooling support for Groovy may benefit from having additional information on
> generated members. We already provide some information by marking certain
> generated methods as synthetic, however tools such as IDEs hide these
> methods. The goal of `@Generated` is to mark members that are still visible
> to IDEs and other tools.
> Example:
> The JaCoCo and Lombok projects have agreed on an annotation named
> `@lombok.Generated`. This annotation serves as a hint to JaCoCo in order to
> skip coverage on the annotated elements; this helps JaCoCo in reporting more
> accurate coverage numbers for source code.
> What would be needed:
> An annotation in the groovy space named `@Generated` that can be used by
> JaCoCo (or any other tool). We can't use `@javax.annotation.Generated`
> because its retention policy is `SOURCE` and we need `CLASS` at the very
> least.
> Modify the Verifier to mark the 5 default GroovyObject methods with this
> annotation when the inspected class does not provide an implementation for
> any of these methods.
> Additionally, any AST transformation that creates additional
> methods/types/fields that should be marked can make use of the new annotation.
> The work required for JaCoCo has already been started and is tracked by
> https://github.com/jacoco/jacoco/pull/610
