Is it possible to add custom annotations on a generated class?

Hi

It's not possible to do that with configuration options, there is a PR proposing adding annotations with via configuration options (which has drawbacks/limitations).
There are however several possibilities how that could theoretically be achieved:

• by using/piggyback'ing customAnnotator such that would override public void typeInfo(JDefinedClass clazz, JsonNode schema) or usage of CompositeAnnotator (if generating pojo's programmatically).

NB! This solution won't annotate enum's

    public class CustomAnnotator extends Jackson2Annotator {

        public CustomAnnotator(GenerationConfig generationConfig) {
            super(generationConfig);
        }

        @Override
        public void typeInfo(JDefinedClass clazz, JsonNode schema) {
            // add custom annotations
            clazz.annotate(Deprecated.class);
            // delegate the rest to super class
            super.propertyInclusion(clazz, schema);
        }
    }

• by using/providing customRuleFactory which would return customized (extended) ObjectRule and EnumRule capable of adding desired annotations.
