See feature request #456468, though in fact it's not quite what I'd 
originally been thinking of.  What I'd had in mind was for it to have the 
build date/time of the xdoclet version used to generate it, because I was 
doing a fair amount of fiddling with the BMP bits at the time (rebuilding 
the xdoclet.jar each time) and I was wanting it to automatically 
regenerate everything without me having to touch all my entity bean source 
files every time.  I figured if there was a way to tell what version of 
xdoclet had done the generation, a newer one could know to regenerate 
them.  In fact, though, the current way has its uses (for me) too...

I like it doing this - see the "Generated class comments" thread.  In 
there, I was asking for feedback/suggestions for changes to the class 
comments bits that I'm working on (if I can ever persuade 
WinCvs/prettyprinter to let me build the damn thing again).  I'll see if I 
can add a parameter to make the timestamp optional while I'm at it, so 
it'll cater for us both.
