Andrew Gaul commented on THRIFT-1813: ------------------------------------- +1, should we also include the date? http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/annotation/Generated.html > 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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
