OriginatingClasses (ProtoStream - annotation processor 4.3.5.Final API)

```
@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(SOURCE)
public @interface OriginatingClasses
```
All generated classes will have this annotation indicating the FQNs of classes that are the origins of this generated code, as an aid when recompiling incrementally. This annotation is internal to the generator and should never be used by users. Its retention policy makes it unavailable at runtime.

Since:

4.3.5

    Origin classes. Do not use Element.getAnnotation(Class) to access this. Use Element.getAnnotationMirrors() instead, to avoid resolution of possibly no longer existent classes during incremental compilation and prevent issues with javac failing miserably with a completely unrelated ClassCastException in such cases.
