Jakarta Generated support

[KyRobbins]

Noting the feature addition resulting from #3248, am I mistaken, or does that annotation use SOURCE retention, and again, unless I'm mistaken, Lombok doesn't generate intermediate source files, but rather just making modifications otw to compiled class files.

If that's all true, what value is there in using the jakarta annotation option? For instance, again, if I'm not mistaken, I believe Jacoco relies on the compiled class files, so therefore the @jakarta.annotation.Generated annotation would not be there to benefit from their AnnotationGeneratedFilter feature.

Following up with my above question, I'm wondering if it would be feasible to have a

lombok.addCustomGeneratedAnnotation = com.example.Generated

There could even either be a configuration or a standard for annotation properties, so either:

lombok.addCustomGeneratedAnnotationSource = true

Or just make it a standard that the annotation takes one literal string parameter to define the source of the generated code.
This would easily allow people to inject any annotation they want to use.

You are right that this doesn't change anything for JaCoCo but there are other tools that work on source level and use the delombok output. If you want to exclude your code from JaCoCo you can add lombok.addLombokGeneratedAnnotation = true to your config file or update to the edge release.
