/**
 * The <code>Generated</code> annotation is used to mark source code that has
 * been generated. It can also be used to differentiate user written code from
 * generated code in a single file.
 * <p>
 * The <code>value</code> element must have the name of the code generator. The
 * recommended convention is to use the fully qualified name of the code
 * generator in the value field, for example
 * <code>com.company.package.classname</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The <code>date</code> element is used to indicate the date the source was
 * generated. The <code>date</code> element must follow the ISO 8601 standard.
 * For example, the <code>date</code> element could have the value
 * <code>2001-07-04T12:08:56.235-0700</code>, which represents 2001-07-04
 * 12:08:56 local time in the U.S. Pacific time zone.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The <code>comment</code> element is a place holder for any comments that the
 * code generator may want to include in the generated code.
