Checkstyle OFF/ON block comments

[nhojpatrick]

I have a projects with 50 JPA objects, but they produce about ~40,000 Checkstyle warnings, with ~39,950 are within the AUTOGENERATED section. So 50 are in code I author.

Working on PR to add //CHECKSTYLE:OFF and //CHECKSTYLE:ON within the auto generated section. Associated PR will be raised shortly for early early review.

Checkstyle has the ability to customize the on/off text it looks for. Can you use that customization?

Here is the config that should do the job.

<module name="SuppressionCommentFilter">
  <property name="offCommentFormat" value="AUTOGENERATED START"/>
  <property name="onCommentFormat" value="AUTOGENERATED END"/>
</module>

Closing on the assumption that the config worked.
