[jira] (MCHECKSTYLE-176) Support for @javax.annotation.Generated

["Robert Scholte (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=351661#comment-351661 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on MCHECKSTYLE-176:
--------------------------------------------

Up until now the maven-checkstyle-plugin has no reason to pre-process files. It just collects all files on source and resource directories, sometimes with additional includes/excludes, and feeds them to CheckStyle. Adding this to the plugin will cost extra time, since it has to process every file (which will be done by Checkstyle for a second time if it was not marked as generated). 
The maven-way is to have a folder like {{target/generates-sources/custom-plugin}} for generated sources. Easy to recognize and for that reason easy to exclude without reading the files.

> Would you be willing to consider whether any support can be added for excluding code that is annotated with {{javax.annotation.Generated}}?
> For example, if a {{.java}} file contains a public class that is annotated {{@Generated}}, perhaps the whole file would be excluded from checks - if a suitable parameter was set in the POM.
> Thanks!
