/**
* The Generated 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. When used, the value 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: com.company.package.classname.
* The date element is used to indicate the date the source was generated.
* The date element must follow the ISO 8601 standard. For example the date
* element would have the following value 2001-07-04T12:08:56.235-0700
* which represents 2001-07-04 12:08:56 local time in the U.S. Pacific
* Time time zone.
* The comment element is a place holder for any comments that the code
* generator may want to include in the generated code.
