So basically, your position is that we should update all the Java
tooling out there to remove the usage of the @Generated annotation?
Because I don't think introducing a dependency to the JSR 250 API jar
everywhere is a good thing.
If so, as mentioned by David, it would be nice to provide something
else as it's considered a useful marker and is used by a lot of tools.
And even if we do so, the transition will be chaotic to say the least.
I agree that @Generated is awkward but I haven't suggested removing it.
It would be useful to go through a few examples as it may be that
ACC_SYNTHETIC is more appropriate for some of these cases.
