Remove generated comment blocks

[re-thc]

Hi, thoughts on removing the generated comments in inject? Or can this be configurable?

Is there a standard within Avaje on if a generated java file should have comments? I noticed that http $Route and JsonComponent don't but $DI do.

The comments in DI take up 10-30% of most files (DI files are small) and it takes up processing time when there's a lot of small files, e.g. the case when you follow the pattern of controller -> service -> repository -> model / dto mapper and more.

Thanks!

@rbygrave what say you?

Well, the method comments in the DI classes don't really add much value, so we could remove those.

it takes up processing time

I'm surprised that we think this takes a material amount of time.

Not a standard per say but the comments are there to assist people in reading the generated code and looking to gain understanding of what is going on. For example, I think the comments in the AvajeModule are good value in that regard and I'm not keen to remove any of those.

We could remove the method comments on $DI though, those comments don't add much value.
