Plugin should add @Generated annotation to generated classes

[josephearl]

This could be optional.

This will mean generated code is ignored by code coverage and static analysis tools without extra configuration.

RTFM ?

https://unbroken-dome.github.io/projects/gradle-xjc-plugin/#_specifying_extra_arguments

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/xjc.html

So maybe this means:

sourceSets {
    main {
        xjcExtraArgs.addAll '-mark-generated'
    }
}

This works for me, ensure to provide the annotation on the classpath if necessary.

IMHO The plugin definitely should not add the annotation by default, it should follow standard behaviour of xjc command line use, which it does :)
