RFR 8175013: Add @Generated Annotation

[Ron Shapiro]

Are there any plans to make the new @Generated annotation have CLASS
retention? We have a number of compile-time tools that would like to know
when files are generated. No need at runtime, but it would be good to have
this information stick around.

We will be deprecating the Java EE modules in Java SE so in a sense that is
happening.

It would require an MR to common annotations to deprecate the annotation in
javax.annotation. and the Java EE folks do not have an MR planned at this
time for that JSR

Maybe it will be done as a part of another commit given
javax.annotation.Generated is in another workspace.

so i've added compiler-dev, since this will be commited to langtools.

Hi all,

Per the discussion [1],  please find the webrev for adding a replacement
annotation for javax.annotation.Generated .


It would be good to have a link from the old @Generated to the new.
